Hi python-dev! I'm a maintainer for Homebrew, a third-party package manager for OS X, where I'm the resident parseltongue.
Issue 10910 is related to problems building CPython extension modules with C++ code on BSDs. As I understand it, pyport.h has some code specific to BSD and friends, including OS X, which causes conflicts with the C++ stdlib.
We've been carrying the patch Ronald Oussoren wrote in 2011 [2] against Python 2.7 since olden times. We were recently prompted to add the patch to our 3.5 package as well [3] because the bug was causing build problems in the wild. [4]
We strive to apply as few patches as possible in Homebrew and we (I) would love to see a fix for this deployed upstream. Can I do anything to help code get checked in?
Thanks, Tim
