Is there a policy concerning getting functions like ctypes working on AIX. If you can provide patches to get ctypes working on AIX, we'd consider adding those to the core. Please file patch or bug describing the problems you are having on AIX with the tracker: http://bugs.python.org/ Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 26 2010) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.

I would suggest two things: 1) try with the latest Python 2.6.x, because 2.5 only receives security fixes now. 2.6 is the stable branch which receives regular bug fixes (which includes build problems) 2) if Python 2.6.x also fails compiling, please file a bug report on http://bugs.python.org Regards Antoine. |
