[issue3770] test_multiprocessing fails on systems with HAVE_SEM_OPEN=0
bms added the comment: POSIX semaphores should be fixed in 8-CURRENT, pending MFC. There are rtld + malloc issues in FreeBSD. Python multiprocessing's use of POSIX threads is not strictly POSIX compliant, as it tries to do a lot more than just call exec() or async-signal-safe POSIX APIs after fork()-ing. There is a degree of reluctance in the camp to fix for these reasons... In the meantime, you may wish to try building Python 2.6 on FreeBSD using GNU Pth, here is a patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/python26-fbsd-pth.patch thanks!

[issue3863] 2.6rc1: test_threading hangs on FreeBSD 6.3 i386
bms added the comment: Hi, I've committed a fix to FreeBSD-CURRENT for POSIX semaphores this morning. Root cause analysis on the fork-mt issue points towards the rtld and malloc in RELENG_7 not being able to deal with a mixture of fork and mt. As a workaround, you may wish to try my patches against the FreeBSD port to build with GNU Pth (until we can settle on resolution):- http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/python26-fbsd-pth.patch thanks!

Exercising the API fully requires an SSM capable multicast LAN. It's been a few months, as far as I can remember I did add the ssm methods and arguments to the built-in documentation for the socket object? ___ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2574> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I just tried to build python 2.6a2 from svn trunk in FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. I get the same error messages as I do in Gentoo Linux: %%% Could not find platform independent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 6, in import sys, os, imp, re, optparse ImportError: No module named os gmake: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 Exit 2 %%% I have no PYTHON* variables set in my environment. On Gentoo, when I build using the ebuild / emerge system, I don't see this issue, nor do I see it with FreeBSD ports. Obviously they are doing something which differs from the instructions in the README, and it makes it difficult for me to submit patches for versions of Python other than those supported by the packaging systems, as I am sure you can understand. cheers BMS __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2574> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I have had a lot of problems building Python on Gentoo Linux (where I developed these patches) w/o using their ebuild system, so I am trying to keep things simple. This stuff isn't really new as such, it's been in Windows, OpenSolaris and other OSes for a while now -- and trying to get FreeBSD SSM support out the door. I can understand if folk don't want to incorporate it in the production releases which most people are using, though, however it's still important that it sees the light of day. Unfortunately the setsourcefilter() APIs are not terribly accessible to non C users such as Python without the wrapping, otherwise we end up instantiating arrays like we have to for fcntl.ioctl(). Also the plat-linux2 stuff seems to be lagging w.r.t the glibc inet defines in IN.py, where much of this stuff would normally appear. cheers BMS __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2574> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue2574] Add RFC 3768 SSM Multicast support to "socket"
New submission from bms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, Here is a patch to add RFC 3768 SSM Multicast support to low-level Python socket module as of 2.5.1. I have not tested the setsourcefilter()/getsourcefilter() socket member functions other than compiling the patch on a Gentoo Linux 2008.0 box w/2.6 Linux kernel. These APIs should be fairly portable. Note that I haven't added any other configure glue, like the rest of socket, support is very low level and getting the arguments to struct.pack() right is the user's problem. cheers BMS -- components: Extension Modules files: python-2.5.1-multicast-ssm.patch keywords: patch messages: 65115 nosy: bms severity: normal status: open title: Add RFC 3768 SSM Multicast support to "socket" type: feature request versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9971/python-2.5.1-multicast-ssm.patch __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2574> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
