New submission from Mark Hammond: Python 3.3 and earlier have in methodobject.c:
/* PyCFunction_New() is now just a macro that calls PyCFunction_NewEx(), but it's part of the API so we need to keep a function around that existing C extensions can call. */ #undef PyCFunction_New PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) PyCFunction_New(PyMethodDef *, PyObject *); which means PyCFunction_New is exported from the DLL. Python 3.4 does not have this (which seems a bug in its own right given the comment in 3.3 and earlier) but PC/bdist_wininst/install.c has code that attempts to dynamically load this function from the DLL and fails, causing 3rd party installers to fail. Assuming the removal of this API was intentional so the problem is that install.c needs to be updated, the following patch fixes the issue. ---------- components: Windows files: t.patch keywords: patch messages: 217185 nosy: mhammond priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PyCFunction_New no longer exposed by python DLL breaking bdist_wininst installers type: behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35043/t.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21354> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
