Category: Build Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: HÃ¥vard Tveite (havatv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: test -e is not portable (Solaris 2.7) Initial Comment: I was adviced by Barry Warsaw to file a bug on this. I tried to install Python 2.4.2 (and 2.3.5) on Solaris 2.7, but configure failed. The Solaris 2.7 sh does not support "test -e". "test -e" is used two times in configure. The use of "test -e" is not recommended for "Portable Shell Programming": http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_chapter/autoconf_10.html > I replaced "test -e" with "test -r", and it seems to work (configure finishes OK, and the files are found), but I do not know if this is the correct way to do it. -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1439538&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[ python-Bugs-1439659 ] file to store pickled object should be opened in binary mode

Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Raghuram Devarakonda (draghuram) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: file to store pickled object should be opened in binary mode Initial Comment: Hi, To unpickle objects on UNIX that were pickled on windows, the file should be opened in binary mode for read and write on windows. It will be nice to have this mentioned in the doc. Something along these lines will be good enough: "Please note that if you are writing the pickled object to a file on windows, make sure it is opened in binary mode. Otherwise, the file may not be able to be used to unpickle on other non-windows platforms". Thanks, Raghu. -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1439659&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
