[jira] Updated: (MODPYTHON-190) python 2.5 support

["Jim Gallacher (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-190?page=all ]

Jim Gallacher updated MODPYTHON-190:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: ssizecheck.diff

ssizecheck.py will include functions which are enclosed in comments in its output. Since I've added comments to mod_python src code to mark the areas which may need attention, ssizecheck.py will now give many false positives.

The attached patch ssizecheck.diff contains a small modification which will skip any comment that starts with "/* PYTHON 2.5:"

eg 

/* PYTHON 2.5: PyTuple_New uses Py_ssize_t for input parameters */

The addition of these comments will allow us to keep track of the code areas which will need attention for full python 2.5 / 64-bit support.

> Details and conversion guidelines can be found in PEP-353.

> Scanning the mod_python source with the ssizecheck.py script mentioned in the PEP indicates a number of places that will require attention.
