Note that db 4.6 might be the cause of some crashes on the buildbots: http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/ I asked to have it disabled on one platform (sparc). I haven't checked the results and I'm not sure if Greg has either. Greg checked in a change to setup.py on trunk to disable 4.6 to see if the crashes go away. ~5 buildbots had crashes in bsddb or related code with 4.6 before the change to setup.py. n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
