Hi Tony, The combination of Zope 2.4.4 and Python 2.1.2 will be the "right" combination. If you can't wait for Zope 2.4, you can use Zope 2.5 (which I believe already has the requisite fixes), although of course it's still in beta. I think you'll need to recompile your extensions -- I'm not sure that it's strictly necessary but it is at least the safest thing to do. This presumes at least running "python wo_pcgi.py" against your software home and re-"Make"-ing your 3rd part extenions with the new Python.h, etc. - C Tony McDonald wrote:
Hi all, I want to upgrade to python 2.1.2 (from an existing 2.1 installation) and at the same time upgrade to 2.5b4 in the hopes that this combination will fix the threading problem under Solaris.
Q1: Is this the right combination to use, I've read that I should use 2.1.2 and 2.4.4 (possible numbering scheme). If so, I can wait (but we are getting core dumps regularly now)
Q2: (and apologies, as this is a more python-orientated question) Can I just do a 'make install' of python 2.1.2 and be sure that it's not going to make my MySQL and other modules in site-packages unusable? (sorry if this is a daft question - I have a *lot* of zope sites using python 2.1 at the moment)
Many thanks Tone
