Message 107323 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Committed in r81669,r81672,r81683 (trunk) and r81830,81831 (py3k).

What to do with the releases? To recap, the fix is:

  1. Detect if readline is already linked against ncurses and if so, skip any further selection. This must be done.

  2. Use the same version of ncurses for readline.so and _curses.so.

  3. should be done in any case. 2) could change the behavior for users who previously had readline/ncurses, cursesmodule/ncursesw, but only use the cursesmodule in an application.
