jq bug report: jq errors trigger assertion errors rather than being handled

2024-03-26 Thread Adam Dinwoodie via Cygwin
Hi, I'm seeing consistent behaviour when running `jq` on Cygwin, where commands that should trigger jq to produce an error message instead cause it to assert and die. Simple test case: run `jq -n 'error("oh no!")'`, which should raise a jq error with the text "oh no!". Output on Cygwin: $ j

Missing Python dependencies for venv standard library module

Hullo, It looks like the python39 package is missing dependencies on python-setuptools-wheel and python-pip-wheel. I've not checked, but I suspect earlier Python versions are missing the same dependencies. Without these, the Python built-in venv module doesn't work: $ python3 -m venv v E
