[Python-Dev] VC6 support on release25-maint

2006-10-15 Thread ocean
Hello. I noticed VisualC++6 support came back. I'm glad with that, but still it seems incomplete. (for example, _sqlite3 support) Maybe does this patch help process? On my machine, testcases other than distutils runs fine. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1457736&group_id=5470&atid=

[Python-Dev] os.utime on directories: bug fix or new feature?

2006-10-15 Thread Martin v. Löwis
In Python 2.5.0 and earlier, it is not possible to modify the time stamps of a directory (mtime and atime) on Windows. The reason is that you cannot "open" (CreateFile) a directory. On W9x, it isn't possible, period. On WNT+, it's possible if you pass FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS to CreateFile. I ju

[Python-Dev] Problem building module against Mac Python 2.4 and Python 2.5

This may be down to my lack of knowledge of Mac OS X development. I want to build my python extension for Python 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 on the same Mac. Build Python 2.3 and Python 2.4 has been working well for a long time. But after I installed Python 2.5 it seems that I can no longer link a agai
