I will forward this to upstream

This only occurs with python3.1, if python2.6 is set, there is no problem

[Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2010-11-02 10:03:39 UTC]

maybe you should is PYTHON_RESTRICT_ABI (or whatever the name is again) to forbid linking to python3, especially is upstream doesn't explicitly support it.

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2010-11-02 10:12:04 UTC]

OK, but I will wait a bit to see what upstream thinks about this 

Thanks

IIRC, "PyString_FromString" was removed from Python 3.x and replaced by "PyUnicode_FromString" so it's not only a missing #include, but anjuta's code is not compatible with Python 3.x

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2010-11-02 11:31:44 UTC]

Yes, upstream has also just replied in upstream report telling me to use python2 for 2.32

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2010-11-04 21:58:25 UTC]

2.32 forces python2 usage
