Hi, Stackless Python is now available for the recent release of Python 2.4.3 (final).
You can either obtain the source code from the SVN repository or download the precompiled windows binaries. SVN: http://codespeak.net/svn/stackless/Python-2.4.3/dev Download: http://www.stackless.com/download If anyone plans to download and compile the source, there are however some minor things that need to be taken into account which you may be able to help me with, if you have the time. 1. I need a generated 'configure' file. I believe the 'configure.in' fine should be fine, but if someone could run autoconf and send me the result so I can check it in, it would be appreciated. It would be best if anyone planning to do this checked the Stackless mailing list to see if there was any mention of someone else already having taken care of it. 2. Having the Python tests run, and the Stackless unittests run by various people on different platforms would give a better indication of the state of the port. The following instructions are of course Win32 specific, but they should be translate easily. a) Retrieve the 2.4.3 source code from SVN at: http://codespeak.net/svn/stackless/Python-2.4.3/dev b) Compile it. c) Open a console in the 'Stackless\unittests' directory. Type '..\..\PCBuild\python.exe run_all.py'. The expected result is that one pickling test will fail, this is ok and it is the same known bug that we had for 2.4.2, which should be easy enough to fix if someone wants to step forward and put in the time and effort. d) Open a console in the top level of the source code. Type 'PCBuild\python.exe Lib\test\regrtest.py' The expected result is that there will be a lot of skipped tests, and possibly some failures depending on your platform. I had these fail: - test_email - test_winsound Neither of the errors were necessarily Stackless related, but it is possible they are. But if you see any for your build that are unexpected, please mention them. Thanks, Richard Tew. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
