The linux2 platform definition is incorrect for several architectures, namely Alpha, PA-RISC(hppa), MIPS and SPARC. On these architectures, Linux inherited some of the socket and dlfcn constants from the proprietary OS provided by the hardware manufacturer, which means they differ from the usual Linux constants. The appended patch against current SVN adresses this by introducing linux2-alpha, linux2-hppa, linux2-mips and linux2-sparc platforms. I changed only the incorrect constants on each platform and kept everything else the same. Bugs in the Debian Bugtracker related to this problem are: http://bugs.debian.org/499132 http://bugs.debian.org/500383 http://bugs.debian.org/500417 http://bugs.debian.org/500418 The first two bug reports carry patches for Python 2.5 and Python 2.4, respectively. The patch probably fixes also spurious python segfaults seen on the Debian Autobuilders for MIPS, since the RTLD_* constants for dlopen were incorrect. (That said, those segfaults are hard to reproduce, so this is a somewhat speculative conclusion.) |

I dislike the brute-force approach of this patch. IMO, a less intrusive solution should be found. |

If we keep the plat-* directories, I think too that introducing new sys.platform values seems a bit heavy-handed. |

A proposal by Martin in a python-dev email: > I'd generate four versions of CDROM.py (with differing names), and > provide a CDROM.py that imports the right one. |
