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 "python2.1" in order to support multiple
|
|
versions of Python coexisting on the same system. If no "python"
|
|
binary exists, a symlink to "python2.1" is created when package
|
|
is installed.
|
|
Same process applies to IDLE binary (idle) and pydoc.
|
|
|
|
5. Regression tests have been taught about OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
These changes are available in the OpenBSD CVS repository
|
|
<http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html> in ports/lang/python.
