[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #117245, was updated on 2000-Oct-18 17:42
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Build
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Summary: Python shared-library modules do not work on OpenBSD 2.7

Details: Python 2.0 compiles and works 100% fine with static modules. However, if I uncomment the '*shared*' line in Modules/Setup, then 'make test' will fail as follows:

cd Modules;  make OPT="-g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes" VERSION="2.0"  prefix="/usr/local" exec_prefix="/usr/local"  sharedmods
rm -f ./Lib/test/*.py[co]
PYTHONPATH= ./python -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 39, in ?
    import random
  File "/tmp/Python-2.0/Lib/random.py", line 23, in ?
    import whrandom
  File "/tmp/Python-2.0/Lib/whrandom.py", line 134, in ?
    _inst = whrandom()
  File "/tmp/Python-2.0/Lib/whrandom.py", line 45, in __init__
    self.seed(x, y, z)
  File "/tmp/Python-2.0/Lib/whrandom.py", line 56, in seed
    import time
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (inittime)

But the symbol does exist:

$ nm timemodule.so | fgrep init
000009d0 T _inittime

(I noticed this bug while trying to install third-party modules, specifically the MySQLdb one, and, after testing, found the problem was more generic.)
