[issue14540] Crash in Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/dlmalloc.c on ia64-hp-hpux11.31

New submission from Paul A. : The following stack trace happened towards the end of a Python-2.7.3rc2 build, but I also get much the same results with 2.7.2; one difference I noticed was I didn't think I needed to add -DHAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H there. running build_scripts creating build/scri

Paul A. added the comment: Apparently my memory was faulty the other day... 2.7.2 does crash the same way as Python-2.7.3rc2 on this box. I opened a new bug report for that, so will close this one. I'll also sign up for core-mentorship as you suggest, and see what I can do to help.

[issue14512] Pydocs module docs server not working on Windows.

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Hmm, we changed a few things with the way the back end server for pydoc works in 3.2. I didn't realise there was a Windows shortcut though, and I don't know how it gets generated. It sounds like it is still using the "-g" option, which is now deprecated. If yo

[issue14527] How to link with an external libffi?

Paul A. added the comment: Yes, I think my libffi setup is okay, but python apparently doesn't (according to the deeper-down log files I didn't initially know about). The following is a suspicious-looking snippet from build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.31-ia64-2.7/libffi/config.log... I have to question

[issue11218] pattern=None when following documentation for load_tests and unittest.main()

Martin von Gagern added the comment: Rik, I don't follow your argument on not changing discover. Currently, if code calls discover with pattern=None, there will be an exception. So there cannot be any working code out there which passes pattern=None. Therefore, it should be all right for the
