Hi
I'm trying to build a Python package that I can use on different Linux
setups, for this purpose it would be nice to weld external dependencies
(libraries) into Python itself. So far I've succeeded in getting Tcl/Tk
statically linked in, with the help of Modules/Setup.local, but the
same procedure for ncurses and readline results in python being
dynamically linked with these two libraries?? That is, there are no
longer any readline.so or _curses.so in lib-dynload, but instead they
are added to Python's shared library dependencies. Any clue as to
what's going on here would be much appreciated.

What is "they" in that sentence? readline.so and _curses.so? I very much
doubt that - more likely, libreadline.so and libncurses.so are in
the dependencies
Any clue as to what's going on here would be much appreciated.
Instead of linking with -lncurses, link explicitly with
/usr/lib/libncurses.a; or else using -static as a linker flag.

Martin
Well, I implied that _curses.so and readline.so disappeared as one
would expect, dependencies on libncurses.so and libreadline.so instead
showing up in Python itself. It's very strange that this happens with
ncurses and readline, when both db and Tcl/Tk got linked in with no
fuss. Anyway, I built static-only (.a) versions of readline and
ncurses, which did the trick.

Ah, you didn't *have* static versions of readline and ncurses...
So how should it possibly have linked those libraries statically???

What do you mean? A static-only build does somehow exclude that I had
static libraries before?

No, it doesn't. I misunderstood. It is quite unclear still what you had
been doing: e.g. did you have shared versions of db and Tcl or not?
Did you have linker scripts in place? What was your specific command
line you have used to link the entire interpreter?
In the absence of details, we have to take guesses on Usenet. Sometimes,
the guesses are right, and sometimes they are wrong.

I'm having no success building the curses module on Solaris 8 (yes, I know

Hi:
I have searched the docs and google but have not totally figured
out how to accomplish my task: On a linux box, I want to compile

import of some "extra" modules. I have made a few attempts but
with limited success. In particular, I have tried things like
adding -static to the compiler options in the Makefile.

I'm trying to display french characters (è -- that's e grave -- or à --

My locale is set correctly (fr_FR.iso885915), and my terminal (rxvt-unicode)

What am I missing?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am writing a shell and am using ncurses to recognize key commands
like up_arrow(KEY_UP) and down_arrow(KEY_DOWN). In a unix/linux OS the
up arrow would give you the last command you input. I am trying to do
that, but I don't know how to explain it well but I am trying to get
that browsing look. I can access the history and retrieve the last
command but if i want to browse three or four further back I can't get
it to act the same way...

Hi,
I am writing a shell(project). I would like to use readline, ncurses
and/or history to search history. I want to write a function that
would recognize the KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN,and search the history. I want
the upand down key to act the same as it would in a unix terminal. If
anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
