New submission from Paul Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The latest version of Mingw binutils, 2.18.50.20080109, uses a 4-part version number which distutils does not like (StrictVersion only allows for 3 parts).
The attached patch fixes this, simply by using LooseVersion (the version number has already been checked to be a series of numbers in the regex check just previous). Can this be fixed for 2.6/3.0, as it is likely that the new binutils will become common while these versions of Python are current? ---------- components: Distutils files: distutils.patch keywords: patch messages: 70655 nosy: pmoore severity: normal status: open title: distutils fails with mingw binutils 2.18.50.20080109 type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11043/distutils.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
