I just upgraded today to a new python-2.3.5 (previous state was updated yesterday; python-2.3.4-r1) Now python seems broken, driving me inable to use portage or whatever. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # emerge -p portage Actual Results: !!! Failed to complete python imports. There are internal modules for !!! python and failure here indicates that you have a problem with python !!! itself and thus portage is no able to continue processing. !!! You might consider starting python with verbose flags to see what has !!! gone wrong. Here is the information we got for this exception: No module named fcntl Expected Results: nice and friendly emerge as ever Ask for everything you need to know. Since I'm no developer, I don't even know where to start looking...
I believe we discussed this on IRC with dsd_. From what I recall the python install was horked ( fnctl.so ) and we suggested a reinstall. Try a quickpkg from http://dev.gentoo.org/~avenj/ or if you use buildpkg a quickpkg of an old python version and re-emerge python. As to why it broke.... :)....:(....who knows ;)
Yes, works now for me. I really can't imaging how it was broken. But it's fixed now, and doesn't seem to reapper, that makes me glad again.
I know how to correct it (binpkg), I'm not liking having hit this twice however :)
hokay. so, poking about with imp imp.get_suffixes() doesn't even report module.so, nor is a load_dynamic function avaiable... best I can figure is the bugger somehow compiled itself w/out shared support, which doesn't add up.
HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING is getting flipped off somehow.
Created attachment 58789 [details] build log for python 2.3.5 Entire build log from the corrupted build that lacked dynload. what's interesting is that DYNLOADFILE is properly detected, exempting trailing whitespace possibility...
very interesting. so in configure, at first it says : checking CFLAGSFORSHARED... $(CCSHARED) checking SHLIBS... $(LIBS) checking for dlopen in -ldl... (cached) yes checking for shl_load in -ldld... (cached) no then further on, just before it sets HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING, it says: checking for --with-sgi-dl... no checking for --with-dl-dld... no checking for dlopen... (cached) no however, on my box, both dlopen checks return yes. something funny is going on there, any chance you have the config.log from that build?
No, it's already gone... I propose to close this bug, since it works for me now.
No config log for it, grabbed the build log after the fact. Regarding the "close it now", yeah, you have a working python installation, and so do I. In the meantime, when it _occurs_, it's *really* a pisser to get it working again. Mind you this isn't an unstable ebuild, it's expected to be behaved... Meanwhile, I'll root about (got better backups this time around) and see if I can trigger it again.
Hey, I've got one of these on my sparc32. I wanted to install gentoo on it, so I dug up an old 1.4 livecd for sparc32, dropped it on there, and did the normal unpacking of a stage3 and building up. After getting the kernel and silo on, I did an emerge -u world. I gather it was after the emerge -u python that things went bad. I tried reverting back to my old python packages (2.3.5-r2) and reunpacking my new one (2.4.1-r1), but nothing's helping out. This bug is in like 5-6 places on google and no place has an answer =/ Whenever I emerge, I get the same "Failed to complete python imports...No module named fcntl" message.
I got a similar error in 2.4.2, and when I tried to make 2.2.3, this is the output.

I think this is fixed with 2.3.6-r1.
