Description Mitchell Berger 2009-06-16 21:54:05 UTC

Description of problem:
_cpchecker.py replaces warnings.formatwarning, and the argument
list was not consistent with the definition in Python 2.6 until
CherryPy version 3.1.2.  Fedora 11 is currently shipping version
3.1.1, without the necessary patch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1.1-2.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
N/A - the code in this package simply doesn't contain the needed
patch.

Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2009-06-17 04:45:01 UTC

Does this break cherrypy to the point that 3.1.1 is unusable on python-2.6?  I'm pushing an update but need to decide whether to push to testing or directly to stable.

Comment 2 Mitchell Berger 2009-06-17 05:17:29 UTC

If the CherryPy checker is enabled, which it is by default, then
any warning it produces will become a fatal exception that prevents
the application from starting up.  If your code produces no warnings,
then it will still be able to run.

To test this, you can begin with the scaffold sample application
and add these two lines to the end of example.conf:

[/tmp]
tools.staticdir.on: True

(This would ordinarily produce a warning, but with CherryPy 3.1.1
and Python 2.6, the application cannot start.)

Since the fatal error only occurs when you would have otherwise
received a warning, it may not be critical enough to bypass testing;
we'll rely on your judgment.  Thanks for the quick reply!
