Name : python Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.5.1 Release : 26.fc8 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fix possible listdir bug, and import other minor fixes and tweaks from Fedora 9. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sun Jun 15 2008 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-26 - Fix sporadic listdir problem - Resolves: bug#451494 * Mon Apr 7 2008 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-25 - Rebuild to re-gen autoconf file due to glibc change. - Resolves: bug#441003 * Tue Mar 25 2008 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-24 - Add more constants to socketmodule * Sat Mar 8 2008 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-22 - Add constants to socketmodule - Resolves: bug#436560 * Tue Feb 19 2008 Fedora Release Engineering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-22 - Autorebuild for GCC 4.3 * Sun Jan 13 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-21 - rebuild for new tk in rawhide * Mon Jan 7 2008 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-20 - Add valgrind support files, as doc, to python-devel - Relates: rhbz#418621 - Add new API from 2.6, set_wakeup_fd ... use at own risk, presumably won't - change but I have no control to guarantee that. - Resolves: rhbz#427794 - Add gdbinit support file, as doc, to python-devel * Fri Jan 4 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-19 - rebuild for new tcl/tk in rawhide * Fri Dec 7 2007 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-18 - Create a python-test sub-module, over 3MB of stuff noone wants. - Don't remove egginfo files, try this see what happens ... may revert. - Resolves: rhbz#414711 * Mon Dec 3 2007 Jeremy Katz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-17 - rebuild for new libssl * Fri Nov 30 2007 James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.5.1-16 - Fix pyconfig.h comment typo. - Add back test_support.py and the __init__.py file. - Resolves: rhbz#387401 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #451494 - Listdir function fails randomly due to mislocated errno assignment [patch included] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451494 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
