I am trying to rebujild the 2.7 maintenance branch and get this error on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS:

I just tried this on my vanilla 10.04.1 system. I checked out release27-maint ran configure && make. It built without problem.

XXX lineno: 743, opcode: 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/src/python-2.7-maint-svn/Lib/site.py", line 62, in import os File "/usr/local/src/python-2.7-maint-svn/Lib/os.py", line 743, in def urandom(n): SystemError: unknown opcode

I installed it successfully once so I may be getting conflicts, but I can't figure out why. There were some similar bugs reported in previous versions but I didn't see a clear solution.

I installed Python 2.7 to /usr/local, then did a make distclean, configure, make. Again, successfully.

I have done "make distclean" and "./configure". I have unset my PYTHONPATH and LDLIBRARYPATH, but python2.7 is my default python.

I guess my next step will be to manually remove the installed python 2.7 unless I hear some other suggestions.

When you say "installed python 2.7" do you mean the one you installed to /usr/local from a from-source build, or something else (e.g. a Python 2.7 package perhaps)?

And I will file a bug report soon unless that is inappropriate.

Sure. Please +nosy me. But I think something else is going on. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
