[issue11851] Flushing the standard input causes an error

2011-04-16 Thread Roger Binns
Roger Binns added the comment: I'm the APSW author. The reason why this apparent nonsense is done is due to using readline and completion. That requires being able to write to standard input when it is a terminal - something that Windows and Linux are happy to do. In any event I

2011-06-05 Thread Roger Binns
Roger Binns added the comment: Is there any reason it doesn't show the function 'prototype' which is by far the most the useful piece of information and is also a form of documentation (plus fairly hard to work out). Convoluted technospeak is far harder to understand. Comp

2012-10-05 Thread Roger Binns
Roger Binns added the comment: I'm the APSW author. You do not need SQLite installed - APSW's setup can fetch the current SQLite and use it privately not affecting the rest of the system. An easier way of testing is: python3 setup.py fetch --sqlite --version 3.7.14 build_ext

Roger Binns added the comment: (APSW author here). I haven't ported to the new Python 3.3 Unicode handling yet but it is on my todo list. The PEPs and doc said the C API would remain backwards compatible. The APSW code supports Python 2.3 onwards. SQLite APIs support both UTF-8 and U

[issue6040] bdist_msi does not deal with pre-release version

2009-07-05 Thread Roger Binns
Roger Binns added the comment: This issue is highly annoying. The ultimate cause is the msi code using the StrictVersion class to get the version number. StrictVersion is documented to be constrained to numerical dot separated versions, and there doesn't appear to be a way of providing

Roger Binns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I can't prove it since Python gives no further information than a procedure cannot be found, but using a bunch of other tools I think this may be due at least to the use of localtime() and it not being present in the msvcr90.dll but i
