Hi, I've given that what was supposed to be a quick try. With the additional dependencies I had to take care about (with the help of OpenSuSe's packages), I've been able to build a 32 bits 2.6.9 Python. The 64 bits one is not built (yet) because of issues with dependencies which I haven't looked at yet. The version is getting a bit old. Updating it to 2.7 should be doable but I'm not sure I want to spend time on that now unless it's really needed. I went for 2.6 because that's what opensuse is using.
As for the patches to python, this large patchset is probably a bit old but it is large and I can easily understand the lack of motivation from upstream to merge it. If I were a Python developer and had to review a 6000-lines patch that started with an unwarranted (and probably unwanted) indentation change from 8 spaces to tabs, even if in C code, and made the diff larger than needed purely because of such whitespace changes, I definitely wouldn't be motivated. I'll most probably be putting python in the packages for win-builds 1.6 but I won't do a lot of work nor checks for the current version in order to not delay it. -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
