New submission from Mike Auty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm testing out Python-2.6b3 and attempted to build wxpython-2.8.8.1. It creates a subclassed CCompiler (MyUnixCCompiler), which overrides the _compile function, with the following signature:
_compile(self, obj, src, ext, cc_args, extra_postargs, pp_opts) This is the same function signature found in distutils/ccompiler.py (line 705). However, it gets called further up in distutils/ccompiler.py (at line 699) with a lang keyword argument. Since **kwargs or similar isn't included in the signature, it raises an exception. The best solution seems like removing the lang=lang keyword argument on line 669, but it's not clear why this was added or what consumers use this new addition. Changing the signature would be an interface break and require old code to be updated, but might allow for a **kwargs entry that would allow for future additions. Please let me know if you need any further information... 5:) ---------- components: Distutils messages: 73203 nosy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] severity: normal status: open title: distutils CCompiler._compile doesn't require lang keyword argument type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3861> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
