Doing an "import uuid" in python causes a segmentation fault unless libuuid-devel is installed. It appears from the strace that something is trying to find libuuid.dll.a. Installing libuuid-devel fixes the problem.
You are indeed correct. The stdlib uuid.py loads libuuid via ctypes.util.find_library, which (with our patchset) finds the actual DLL name via the import library. (This is also true on ELF platforms, although the actual mechanism is somewhat different.)
I have added libuuid-devel to both python and python3 requires.
This only happens when x64_64. It works fine with the i686 distribution.
Only by luck; it's actually necessary for both arches. Thanks for reporting, Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
