Petri Lehtinen <pe...@digip.org> added the comment: I tried to compile Python 3.3 (from default branch) with DONT_HAVE_FSTAT and DONT_HAVE_STAT. It seems to depend even more heavily on stat() being available, in other files than Python/import.c.
With 2.7, it was quite easy to disable the .pyc/.pyo writing in the absence of fstat(), but the NullImporter needs to be able to check for a directory. In addition, the build process fails when trying to run "setup.py build", because distutils cannot be imported. And it cannot be imported because it's a package, and packages (directories) cannot be detected without having stat(). So... Unless we have another way to check for a directory, I'm not sure whether it will be possible to compile Python at all without stat(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12082> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
