Bug 59257 – mod_python 2.7.10 ebuild does not detect "python compiled with threads"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description P.F. Caillaud 2004-08-03 06:11:43 UTC]

In the mod_python 2.7.10 ebuild :

AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether Python is compiled with thread support)
PyTHREADS=`$PYTHON_BIN -c "import sys; print \"thread\" in sys.builtin_module_names"`
if test "$PyTHREADS" = "1"; then
 
Problem :

Python 2.3 returns "True", not "1" like 2.2 did.
Thus the ebuild believes Python is copiled without threads, while it is. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have Apache 1.3 and Python 2.3 installed
2. Run :
# python -c "import sys; print \"thread\" in sys.builtin_module_names"
True

3. True is not 1 so ebuild says : [no threads, good]

Actual Results:  
It did not detect that Python was compiled with threads.

Expected Results:  
It should have !

Created attachment 37283 [details]
mod_python-2.7.10.ebuild

This ebuild should work, but could someone test it? I've added to src_unpack:

"""
# Python 2.3 prints True/False instead of, expected
# by script configure, 1/0, so we need to convert it to int.
sed -e 's/\(\\"thread\\" in sys.builtin_module_names\)/int(\1)/' -i
${S}/configure
"""

Should be fixed in -r1.
