The Python expat shared extension module, pyexpat, failed to build
cleanly when I created the above package. Unfortunately, the Python
build does not stop when a shared extension module fails to build, so I
didn't notice this issue until today.
If you use pyexpat, then you will need to revert to 2.6.7-1 until this
problem is resolved.
I tracked the problem down to the following:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-April/119051.html
I verified that the problem can be resolved by upgrading expat from
2.0.1 to 2.1.0 by building Python 2.6.8 against a locally built expat
2.1.0.
Can the Cygwin expat maintainer please release expat 2.1.0 at his/her
earliest convenience? I will release Python 2.6.8-2 as soon as possible
after expat is updated.
Thanks,
Jason
