Description:   Opened: 2008-03-03 12:23 0000 
Hi, 

I just wanted to note here, that python 2.5.2 was released. 

"According to the release notes, over 100 bugs and patches have been addressed
since Python 2.5.1, many of them improving the stability of the interpreter,
and improving its portability."

Best wishes, and thanks to the python herd for their work! 

Reproducible: Always

python-team: would be good if we could solve the following issues with this
version:
bug #209673 dev-lang/python builds an internal copy of libffi
bug #125992 Enable static python build with portage
bug #145206 python's distutils does not respect CXXFLAGS

What do you think? Realistic?

------- Comment #2 From Tiziano Müller 2008-03-03 16:31:04 0000 ------- 
bug #209673 is now only profile-work. Patch is present and it builds. Testing
needed... If you want to help, add the patch from the mentioned bug in
src_unpack using epatch and report whether there are any test failures
(especially in conjunction with the ctypes-module).

------- Comment #3 From Arne Babenhauserheide 2008-03-27 09:19:20 0000 ------- 
I added the three bugs as dependency of Python 2.5.2 

(I hope that's the correct process. If it is not, please tell me - I didn't
find the process in the Bugzilla guide, nor via Google, so I assume I don't
know the correct place to search).

gentoo patches adjusted for python-2.5.2

Hopefully this gets the ball rolling.  I adjusted all of the patches from
python-gentoo-patches-2.5.1-r3.tar.bz2 to apply cleanly to python-2.5.2.  I
ended up merging two of the patches together and removing another (change
already present in 2.5.2).  I also added the fix I made for bug #145206.

I have installed python 2.5.2 with gentoo patches but it doesn't resolve the
malloc errors I get randomly with for example pitivi, ups-monitor and other
python aware applications.

Using threads are unsafe in many cases. See http://bugs.python.org/issue815646

Is it possible to activate nothreads flag without harm gentoo and also avoid
the malloc corruption?

python-2.5.2-r1 includes upstream fix for the issue you mentioned.
Thanks for reporting :)
