[Python-Dev] Vacation and possibly a new bug (original) (raw)

Just a quick reminder, I am going off for a vacation and my brother's wedding tomorrow (July 13) and won't have a definite Net connection until July 22.

The bug #762934 (patch for configure.in to detect time.tzset better) is still open. I uploaded my own version of the patch that is more explicit in detecting whether the function works properly. It works for me, but tzset has always worked properly for me. If someone with Red Hat 6.2 can test it that would be great (that will close bug #763153).

The macostools error (bug #763708) is still happening and I still think it could be an OS X bug and not ours.

And after I updated my copy of CVS and tried out the patch for tzset detection as mentioned above I got a failure in test_pep277.py (only difference between CVS and my checkout is configure.in and only in the tzset code and regrtest.py):

./python.exe Lib/test/test_pep277.py ~/Progs/Python/CVS/python/dist/src test_directory (main.UnicodeFileTests) ... u'\xdf-\u66e8\u66e9\u66eb' ok test_failures (main.UnicodeFileTests) ...

This is under OS X so if this is a serious bug and not some funky fluke on my system hopefully someone else like Skip, Just, or Michael will get it and be able to work on it.

Good luck on getting 2.3 final out the door. I feel bad having a patch and a possible bug being open before I leave. Sorry, guys.

I hope to come back with little python-dev email and what little I get are positive. =)
