python2.4-dbg and C modules


Hello,

please, when I try to run my code under python2.4-dbg
from Ubuntu, the interpreter complains that the Py_InitModule4
symbol is undefined in a C module I'm using (PyOpenAL):

ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/_openal.so: undefined
symbol: Py_InitModule4

Google reveals that this problem is not specific just to PyOpenAL,
but I couldn't find out what is the essence of the problem and how
python-2.4dbg is different from python2.4 except for including
debugging symbols, because in plain python2.4 the module works
fine. Also, the same thing happens with python 2.5 (not the
-dbg variant).

Please, what is the problem and how to overcome it?

Thank you,
Hynek Hanke

The dbg version does not define Py_InitModule4, but
Py_InitModule4T raceRefs. This is a safety-measure to prevent modules
compiled for the nodebug version of Python to load into the debug
version. There are major changes to the internal interpreter data
structures in the debug version, so you have to recompile your module
with the debug headers.

HTH,
Martin

Unable to find it, python quits...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
