Update to 2.4.4:

2007-06-08T14:16:15Z

We are pleased to announce the release of Python 2.4.4 (FINAL), a bugfix release of Python 2.4, on October 18, 2006. Important: 2.4.4 includes a security fix (PSF-2006-001) for the repr() of unicode strings in wide unicode builds (UCS-4) [does not affect pkgsrc] Python 2.4 is now in bugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. At least 80 bugs have been squished since Python 2.4.3, including a number of bugs and potential bugs found by with the Coverity and Klocwork static analysis tools. We'd like to offer our thanks to both these firms for making this available for open source projects - see their websites if you're interested.

On NetBSD, assume that MKYP=no when /usr/bin/ypcat doesn't exist.

The NIS module is not available in that case. Call the regen script with RUNSHARED, so that it finds libpython.so, even in the DESTDIR case. XXX The call to regen should be moved to the build phase.

libpython needs the pkgsrc-provided LDFLAGS to resolve all dependencies

not part of the std. Python install to work again. Secondly, add a patch from Christoph Ludwig ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1324762&group_id=5470&atid=305470 ) which contains the following changes (from the SourceForge post): 1) The configure option --with-cxx is renamed --with-cxx-main. This was done to avoid surprising the user by the changed meaning. Furthermore, it is now possible that CXX has a different value than provided by --with-cxx-main, so the old name would have been confusing. 2) The compiler used to translate python's main() function is stored in the configure / Makefile variable MAINCC. By default, MAINCC=$(CC). If --with-cxx-main is given (without an appended compiler name), then MAINCC=$(CXX). If --with-cxx-main= is on the configure command line, then MAINCC=. Additionally, configure sets CXX= unless CXX was already set on the configure command line. 3) The command used to link the python executable is (as before) stored in LINKCC. By default, LINKCC='$(PURIFY) $(MAINCC)', i.e. the linker front-end is the compiler used to translate main(). If necessary, LINKCC can be set on the configure command line in which case it won't be altered. 4) If CXX is not set by the user (on the command line or via --with-cxx-main), then configure tries several likely C++ compiler names. CXX is assigned the first name that refers to a callable program in the system. (CXX is set even if python is built with a C compiler only, so distutils can build C++ extensions.) 5) Modules/ccpython.cc is no longer used and can be removed.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. For an introduction to programming in Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard types, constants, functions and modules. Finally, the Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and semantics of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail. Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten- sion language for existing applications. See the internal documentation for hints. This package has been compiled without support for threads.
