hi all,

I'm new to Python.
I've compiled Python 2.4 from tar file.
When running 'make test' i'm getting a failure
in test_socket.
Running './python Lib/test/test_socket.py' yields:
======================================================================
ERROR: testGetServBy (__main__.GeneralModuleTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 330, in testGetServBy
port2 = socket.getservbyname(service)
error: service/proto not found
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 58 tests in 3.826s
The value of 'service' was "daytime".
After much hand wringing, editing, and use of 'print'
statements i commented out line 330,
'# port2 = socket.getservbyname(service)' and replaced it
with the line 'port2 = port'.
Running './python Lib/test/test_socket.py' now yields:
testGetServBy (__main__.GeneralModuleTests) ... ok
.

Ran 58 tests in 5.181s
OK
Located the code for 'socket_getservbyname' in
'Modules/socketmodule.c' where the call to the glibc
function 'getservbyname' is made:
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
sp = getservbyname(name, proto);
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
if (sp == NULL) {
PyErr_SetString(socket_error, "service/proto not found");
return NULL;
}
The only call of socket.getservbyname that failed was when
it was passed the single argument. Since the error message
"service/proto not found" seems to only be generated upon
failure of gibc's 'getservbyname' could it be that
'PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s|s:getservbyname", &name, &proto)'
generates values for 'name' and/or 'proto' that cause the
failure?
My search for prior reports of failure at line 330 found
a mention of problems at line 331.
Well, at any rate, if someone could point me down the
correct path on this i would appreciate it.
Compiling from source requires you to indicate the features that you
want compiled in. Without thread support, sockets din't work, so it
looks like you need to configure threads in. IIRC you do this by editing
the Modules.? file.
