need help with some bugs in python-mysqldb
hello,
i need some help with a bug in python-mysqldb which i am the maintainer
for. the two reports that explain the bug are #270555 and #270570.
it's a problem with libapache-mod-python, it segfaults at using
MySQL-Python. see #270555 for more information.
the strange thing here is, that this happens only when compiling with
mysql 4.0.21 (libmysqlclient-dev in debian/unstable). if i use mysql
3.23.56 (libmysqlclient10-dev in debian/unstable), the problem doesn't
occur.
i've uploaded a new release, built with libmysqlclient10, to unstable
today to workaround this bug, but generally mysql 4.0 is highly
recommented and much more supported by most recent MySQL-Python.
it doesn't matter which mysql server version you run when you connect
to it with a MySQL-Python, the only important thing is whether you build
it with libmysqlclient 3.23.56 or 4.0.21.
upstream is pretty ignorant about this issue, so all i can do is find
the bug myself, but i'm afraid that i'll fail.
does anybody have suggestions how to go on?
bye
jonas
