Description ivanllopard 2011-02-18 14:46:02 UTC 
See below the error report



/usr/bin/python ../../python/generator.py ../../python
Found 1605 functions in libxml2-api.xml
Found 55 functions in libxml2-python-api.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 226019

  • File "../../python/generator.py", line 1186 in ? 
    buildStubs()
  • File "../../python/generator.py", line 556 in buildStubs 
    for function in sorted(functions.keys()):
NameError: global name 'sorted' is not defined 
make[3]: *** [gen_prog] Error 1



sorted() built-in function used at generator.py:556 is available since python version 2.4. I think it could be related to the following error during execution of configure script:


Found Python version 2.3
../configure: line 13535: python2.3-config: command not found


I think configure.in doesn't check if it exists before executing it. Anyways, sorted() is not present in python 2.3, the package requires python 2.4 or later.

Best regards,

Comment 1 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:23:36 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
