The IDLE issue is IMHO a release blocker, as is issue 6851. So that leaves 4 release blockers for 2.6.3. Three of these are assigned to Ronald. Ronald are you sure you will have time to fix these by then? The one I'm still uncertain on is the IDLE hang. If this only affects OS X 10.6 and there is no progress on it by the time 2.6.3 is otherwise ready, I'm willing to knock this down in severity.
I don't know for sure if I'll be able to fix these issues, I'll
basicly just have time to work on this during the weekend.
IDLE hang on OSX 10.6: I don't really know where to start looking,
this may have something to do with Tk-Cocoa (which is used on 10.6 and
not on earlier releases). There is a patch for Tk-Cocoa support on the
tracker, but I haven't had time yet to fully test that.Compile error for ctypes on 10.6: Should be easy to fix. Apple has
released the sources of the copy of libffi included with 10.6.1, I'll
use that to work on a patch.Crash with urllib and threads on OSX 10.6: This probably requires
rewriting some code using ctypes in C. The crash seems to occur when
CoreFoundation tries to initialise itself after being loaded on a
secondairy thread by ctypes. To make matters worse the ctypes type
annotations in urllib are not correct for 64-bit code (but the crash
happens in 32-bit mode as well)
