Hi Sridhar,

We definitely like to share our core Python patches for AIX 5.1/5.2 and other
platforms.
Great to hear that ActiveState shares their improvements for Python on
AIX! Thanks for the patch in git, I will check it and try to open some
issues in the Python bug tracker in order to get those modifications
integrated.
Please do send us any patches you may have for building Python 3 on AIX.
Here is a list of issues concerning AIX on which I have been working:
http://bugs.python.org/issue678250 = OK (test_mmap error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue678264 = WAIT (test_resource error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue730467 = WAIT (AIX_GENUINE_CPLUSPLUS error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue713169 (test_pty error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue941346 = OK (shared library)
http://bugs.python.org/issue1542544 = OK (shared library - duplicate)
http://bugs.python.org/issue1563807 (compilation ctypes)
http://bugs.python.org/issue1633863 = OK (bad default compiler)
http://bugs.python.org/issue1745108 (curses error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue3526 (custom memory allocation system -
dlmalloc)
http://bugs.python.org/issue4026 = OK (fcntl extension)
http://bugs.python.org/issue4499 = OK (tilde macro)
http://bugs.python.org/issue5718 (ctypes compilation)
http://bugs.python.org/issue6006 (ctypes compilation)
http://bugs.python.org/issue6164 (flag -blibpath)
http://bugs.python.org/issue7657 (test_ctypes error)
http://bugs.python.org/issue8695 = OK (crash on Python 2.6.4 at compilation)
http://bugs.python.org/issue8882 (pb getsockaddrarg)
http://bugs.python.org/issue9700 = OK (semwait)
http://bugs.python.org/issue9799 = (xlc requires
--without-computed-gotos) => OK add some doc
http://bugs.python.org/issue9862 = OK (broken PIPE_BUF on AIX)
The 2 most interesting patches I think are:
* in issue 941346, a patch to be able to compile Python as a shared
library (already applied in svn)
* in issue 3526, a patch to use a custom memory allocation system
(dlmalloc) in Python in order to greatly reduce memory consumption on
AIX => not applied yet; I need to formally discuss it on Python-dev, but
I am waiting for the AIX buildbot to be setup before that.
best regards
