We had issues building python 2.7 on hppa-hp-hpux machines because sysconfig and distutils had different ideas of the platform name. ./python -c 'import os, sys; from distutils.util import get_platform as plat1; from sysconfig import get_platform as plat2; print plat1();print plat2()' hp-ux-B.11.11-9000_785 hp-ux-B.11.11-9000-785 Notice that one has an underscore, the other a dash. Either the code is sysconfig or distutils needs to change slightly so that they match. e.g. Index: Lib/sysconfig.py =================================================================== --- Lib/sysconfig.py.orig 2010-05-19 22:20:14.000000000 +0000 +++ Lib/sysconfig.py 2010-07-16 02:52:39.385322407 +0000 @@ -569,3 +569,3 @@ machine = machine.replace(' ', '_') - machine = machine.replace('/', '-') + machine = machine.replace('/', '_')

Thanks for the report. I just checked 2.7 and 3.2 (by monkey-patching os.uname to return something with a space and calling the two get_platform) and this is fixed (both use an underscore), probably thanks to the freeze and revert of distutils.

Checked distutils2 too, it’s okay.
