Bug 327781 – dev-lang/swig-2.0.3 generates code incompatible with Python 3.2 (PyCObject)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-07-11 11:28:13 UTC]

dev-lang/swig-2.0.0 generates code, which uses PyCObject_*() functions, which are deprecated in Python 3.1 and removed in Python 3.2.

[Comment 1 Panagiotis Christopoulos (RETIRED) 2010-07-11 11:32:48 UTC]

This is upstream, right? Arfrever, can we do something from our side?

[Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-07-11 11:34:25 UTC]

This problem should be reported to upstream, so that they fix it before release of Python 3.2.

[Comment 3 Cyprien Nicolas (fulax) 2010-10-31 08:39:12 UTC]

Two upstream bugs are currently opened about that issue, patches were submitted.

I just bumped swig to 2.0.2 , can you check if it's fixed in the new version?

It might be better to add a dev-lang/swig-2.0.4_pre* snapshot.
