I also thought of such a solution, and could accept it. However, it is really trivial to implement for anybody invoking an automatic build of Python: after the build completes, do python -c 'import ext1,ext2,...' 2>/dev/null and check the return status - and voila, you know whether your required modules were built successfully. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6731> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
