Hi python-dev! I'm a maintainer for Homebrew, a third-party package manager for OS X, where I'm the resident parseltongue.
Issue 10910 is related to problems building CPython extension modules with C++ code on BSDs. As I understand it, pyport.h has some code specific to BSD and friends, including OS X, which causes conflicts with the C++ stdlib. We've been carrying the patch Ronald Oussoren wrote in 2011 [2] against Python 2.7 since olden times. We were recently prompted to add the patch to our 3.5 package as well [3] because the bug was causing build problems in the wild. [4] We strive to apply as few patches as possible in Homebrew and we (I) would love to see a fix for this deployed upstream. Can I do anything to help code get checked in? Thanks, Tim [1] https://bugs.python.org/issue10910 [2] https://bugs.python.org/issue10910#msg135414 [3] https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/3396 [4] https://github.com/IntelPNI/brainiak/pull/82 -- Tim Smith Freenode: tdsmith, #machomebrew https://tds.xyz, https://github.com/tdsmith _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
