I suspect this is indeed a Python version issue: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-07/msg00669.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-07/msg00684.php It looks like the Macs have some kind of Python framework that PL/Python is linking against even if a newer version of Python has been installed. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac I could use to do any deeper investigating. The regression tests that are failing are from the patch I submitted about a month ago to fix a core dump in PL/Python: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-06/msg00519.php The tests exercise the error checking that the patch added, doing things that previously caused a segmentation fault but that now raise an exception. Should those tests remain in place? If so, should we rewrite them to avoid the version-specific Python messages (possibly by wrapping them in a PL/pgSQL function that traps the errors), or should we just leave the tests alone now that we think we understand what's happening? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
