Bug#531806: pycaml fails to build with Python 2.6
Package: pycaml
Version: 0.82-8
Hello,
pycaml package fails to build with Python 2.6 on Ubuntu Karmic. Here
is the build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27403133/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.pycaml_0.82-9_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
Here are the explanations about that bug of Max Bowsher <maxb@f2s.com> :
"""
if you look at the build log, the error is:
pycaml_ml.c:1151: error: 'PyImport_ImportModuleEx' undeclared here (not
in a function)
If you dig around a bit, you find that in Python 2.6, this is strictly a
#define, which is incompatible with pycaml_ml.c's use of it - whereas in
Python 2.5, it was also provided as a real entry point for compatibility.
Rather annoyingly, if you dig into Python's svn repository, it looks
like this compatibility provision may have been *accidentally* reverted
- http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=59678, look at the
changes to import.c and import.h.
Accidentally or not, it looks like pycaml will need to be adapted to not
use that function.
Max.

Yours,
d.
