libxml2-2.9.4: Compatibility with Python 3.6
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:23:56 UTC
Fedora ships a patch for compatiblity with the recently released Python 3.6 which libxml2 otherwise fails with: $ echo "import libxml2" | python Traceback (most recent call last):
+ Trace 237033
import libxml2mod
Source of the Fedora Patch: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libxml2.git/tree/libxml2-2.9.4-remove-pyverify_fd.patch Fedora Bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406920
Created attachment 363064 [details] [review] Removes single use of non-existent _PyVerify_fd _PyVerify_fd disappeared from python with: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/e88e2049b793
Any chance of getting this in a release soon - the brokeness with python3 is impacting many distros and expecting them all to find & add this patch is rather tedious.
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.
