Cygwin: Cygwin Python builds OOTB when configured as follows:
configure --with-threads=no
assuming Cygwin 1.1.8-2 and gcc 2.95.3-1 or later. At the time
of this writing, Cygwin pthread support is being significantly
enhanced. Hopefully, there will be a Cygwin Python with thread
support soon.
Cygwin Python supports the building of shared extensions via the
traditional Misc/Makefile.pre.in and the newer distutils methods.
On NT/2000, the following regression tests fail:
test_poll (hang)
test_strftime
Due to the test_poll hang on NT/2000, one should run the
regression test using the following:
PYTHONPATH= ./python.exe -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l -x test_poll
On 9X/Me, in addition the above NT/2000 failures, it has been
reported that the following regression tests also fail:
test_pwd
test_select (hang)
test_socket
Due to the test_poll and test_select hang on 9X/Me, one should
run the regression test using the following:
PYTHONPATH= ./python.exe -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l -x test_poll -x test_select
Help trying to track down the root causes for these known problems
will be greatly appreciated.
