Why? Even Python 1.5.2 with multithreading works for me on Solaris 2.5.1.

There are strange, core-dumping problems and threadrealted issues with pythons post 1.5.2 afaik, both performace wise and otherwise. Check the archives of zope and zope-dev. I myself generated a lot of the messages. And, recently (this or last week) there have been more reports of Solaris related problems... It seems that Zope is more susceptible to these problems than other python software. I don't really know why but I suspect that Zope is one of there larger python apps out there and thus suffers more than other apps from shortcomings. I haven't heard of realted problems from the Twisted copmmunity, but then I suspect that not too many of them use solaris on a daily basis (this is only an assumption mind you, I might very well be wrong). /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kasten Systems Developer Chalmers Univ. of Technology dario@ita.chalmers.se ICQ will yield no hits IT Systems & Services
