Message 102421 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

So I'm gonna ask: when I modify *.c files, do I have to do something else other than "./configure; make; make install" in order to see the changes applied?

No.

If you run the Python binary from the SVN checkout directory (rather than from an installation), _ssl should come from the build subdirectory, not from /usr/local/lib. Example here:

$ pwd /home/antoine/cpython/newssl $ ./python -c "import _ssl; print _ssl.file" /home/antoine/cpython/newssl/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_ssl.so

If _ssl is coming from "/usr/local/lib/...", it means that something modifies your sys.path so as to put that path before the path to the just built extension modules. I can't really investigate this point for you, but try using "python -E" instead.
