libc.so.6 (libc6,x86-64, OS ABI: Linux 2.6.9) => /lib64/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.6.9) => /lib/libc.so.6 The "OS ABI" thing is not always there: libdrm.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libdrm.so.2 libdrm.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2 As you see, there are two of them with the same name but in a different path. If you return the absolute path, there is a 50% possibility that you are returning the wrong one ;) There seem to be two key differences between the original implementation and yours: - the orig impl matches the abi_type at the beginning of the parentheses, yours simply ignores the abi_type (that should have caught my eye, but that regex looked so much like magic that I didn't try to make sense of it :-)) - the orig impl returns the file name from the beginning of the matched line, yours returns the full path from the end of the line I guess it should be doable to retain the speed benefit while implementing a matching algorithm closer to the original one. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
