Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: This probably means that the ctypes code in urllib.py needs to be ported to C, although we won't know if that helps until said C code is written :-(
Doing that would be a good idea anyway, while trying to create a workaround I noticed that the ctypes code is invalid anyway because there are not enough ctypes annotations when running in 64-bit mode (where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long)) In 32-bit mode you can avoid the crash by calling urllib.urlopen or urllib.proxy_bypass once on the main thread, but you have to use a qualified name ("localhost.localdomain", not "localhost"). ---------- resolution: -> accepted stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6851> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
