News regarding these platforms with more recent Cygwin
versions would be appreciated!
-AtheOS: Official support has been stopped as of Python 2.6. All code will be
- removed in Python 2.7 unless a maintainer steps forward for this
- platform.
-
- From Octavian Cerna <tavy at ylabs.com>:
-
- Before building:
-
- Make sure you have shared versions of the libraries you
- want to use with Python. You will have to compile them
- yourself, or download precompiled packages.
-
- Recommended libraries:
-
- ncurses-4.2
- readline-4.2a
- zlib-1.1.4
-
- Build:
-
- $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/python
- $ make
-
- Python is always built as a shared library, otherwise
- dynamic loading would not work.
-
- Testing:
-
- $ make test
-
- Install:
-
- # make install
- # pkgmanager -a /usr/python
-
-
- AtheOS issues:
-
- - large file support: due to a stdio bug in glibc/libio,
- access to large files may not work correctly. fseeko()
- tries to seek to a negative offset. ftello() returns a
- negative offset, it looks like a 32->64bit
- sign-extension issue. The lowlevel functions (open,
- lseek, etc) are OK.
- - sockets: AF_UNIX is defined in the C library and in
- Python, but not implemented in the system.
- - select: poll is available in the C library, but does not
- work (It does not return POLLNVAL for bad fds and
- hangs).
- - posix: statvfs and fstatvfs always return ENOSYS.
- - disabled modules:
- - mmap: not yet implemented in AtheOS
- - nis: broken (on an unconfigured system
- yp_get_default_domain() returns junk instead of
- error)
- - dl: dynamic loading doesn't work via dlopen()
- - resource: getrimit and setrlimit are not yet
- implemented
-
- - if you are getting segmentation faults, you probably are
- low on memory. AtheOS doesn't handle very well an
- out-of-memory condition and simply SEGVs the process.
-
- Tested on:
-
- AtheOS-0.3.7
- gcc-2.95
- binutils-2.10
- make-3.78
+Windows: When executing Python scripts on the command line using file type
+ associations (i.e. starting "script.py" instead of "python script.py"),
+ redirects may not work unless you set a specific registry key. See
+ the Knowledge Base article <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321788>.
