Python development has recently moved from using Subversion to Mercurial (hg). The py3k branch in the svn repository at that URL is now frozen in-time and not being updated. $ svn info Path: . URL: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/py3k Repository Root: http://svn.python.org/projects Repository UUID: 6015fed2-1504-0410-9fe1-9d1591cc4771 Revision: 88828 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: giampaolo.rodola Last Changed Rev: 88761 Last Changed Date: 2011-03-06 13:04:47 -0800 (Sun, 06 Mar 2011) Information on how to access the hg repos is contained in the new Python Developer's Guide: http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html If you use hg to clone a copy of the current repo, you'll see something more like this: $ hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython $ cd cpython $ hg log -b default changeset: 69534:020ebe0be33e user: Antoine Pitrou <solip...@pitrou.net> date: Sat Apr 23 17:56:06 2011 +0200 summary: Remove unused private function Try the build again from a clean directory using the current hg repo. That said, if the message appears, follow the directions about copying Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup. That is likely the source of your original build failure. > The 3.2 branch > (http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release32-maint) can be > compiled without much issue. That is out-of-date as well. All current development and maintenance branches (2.7, 3.1, 3.2, default(=py3k)) are now maintained in the hg repo as described in the developer's guide. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
