This reminds of a Tim-ism: ================== > Just for the record, on AIX, the following C program: Oh no you don't! I followed AIX threads for the first year it came out, but eventually decided there was no future in investing time in baffling discussions that usually ended with "oh, never mind -- turns out it's a bug" <0.9 wink>. Vladimir Marangozov and Tim Peters, 23 Jun 1998 ================== 10 years later, things don't seem to be much different. For ctypes it looks like libffi often fails to compile when not using GCC; http://bugs.python.org/issue1637120 is an AIX bug report. For the curses module, I've noticed that HP-UX seems to require including additional header files or defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to make curses.h work. So I don't think there's a common problem with all these minority platforms, and we really would need developers on all of them. --amk _______________________________________________ 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
