Now that Python 2.6.2 has been made generally available, I've updated the OS/2 port that was previously based on 2.6.2c1, and also fixed some bugs.
Recent history of my 2.6.x builds:
2009-04-12 build:
* Updated to 2.6.2c1 source
* Updated to GCC 4.3.3
2009-04-13 build:
* Fixed problem with unicodedata module that prevented firefox building
* Fixed problem with use of popen() within python scripts
2009-04-14 build
* Implemented OS/2 version of urandom - fixes the multiprocessing module
2009-04-18 build
* Updated source to 2.6.2 GA release code
* Fixed problem with popen()
* Fixed problem with pipe()
I've also added a Mercurial 1.0.2 port based almost entirely on Andrew McIntyre's port (with a few fixes for libc quirks).
Finally, a zip of additional files required, and my source patches has been added to my webpage.
All of the above can be found in the usual place, ie http://os2ports.smedley.info
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Paul.
