New submission from Mark Hammond <mhamm...@users.sourceforge.net>: bdist_wininst installers created by py3k fail due to PySys_SetArgv and Py_SetProgramName both being passed 'char *' strings instead of wide strings.
The patch is against the svn trunk as currently Python 2.x and 3.x share the same bdist_wininst stub. The patch doesn't change the behaviour on Python 2.x, and continues to allow the same executable stub to be shared, as the appropriate signature is determined at runtime based on the Python version. The patch does not include the 2 new stub executables required (wininst-9.0.exe and wininst-9.0-amd64.exe), but the patch *and* the new stub executables should be merged into whatever py3k branches are appropriate. I've tested (pywin32) installers based on the new stub on python 2.6 32bit, and python 3.0 32 and 64bit. ---------- assignee: mhammond components: Distutils files: wininst_py3k.patch keywords: needs review, patch, patch messages: 80622 nosy: mhammond priority: high severity: normal stage: commit review status: open title: bdist_wininst fails on py3k type: behavior versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12873/wininst_py3k.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5076> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
