> Why would this not be required for the standard exceptions then? It looks like PyAPI_DATA can be defined differently depending on whether we're building code as a built-in or as a loadable module. If _iomodule.c is really being built as a module, that would explain why there's a difference. The standard exceptions are always built-in. In Python 2.7, _io is not the default I/O system for Python, so I could understand why it might be a loadable module there. Of course, if Amaury is right that it's being built both ways then I assume that could be the underlying problem. Also, the definition of PyAPI_DATA has a bunch of conditions specifically for Cygwin, which (partially) explains why the behavior is different from a regular Windows build. I am not an export on the dllimport and dllexport keywords, although I have needed to use them on occasion. I am speculating. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9665> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
