As required by item 3 of the PSF license, here is a brief summary
|
|
|
|
|
of changes made to this version of Python for the OpenBSD package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. tempfile.py was patched to not try /usr/tmp as a possible
|
|
|
|
|
tempfile directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. libpython is created as a shared library, and the pthread stack
|
|
|
|
|
size was doubled to support this with complex applications such
|
|
|
|
|
as Zope.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. OpenBSD threads are used for threading support.

|
4. The interpreter is called "python2.5" in order to support multiple
|
2007-06-26 12:50:18 -04:00
|
|
|
versions of Python coexisting on the same system. The same
|
|
|
|
|
applies to the idle and pydoc binaries.
