Description mike.olson 1999-10-18 18:49:42 UTC

I have 2 shared libraries that both define symbols of the
same name.  When I import these modules into python and call
the method with the shared name, I always exectue the method
of the last module imported.

Ex: If I have 2 shared modules written in C, each with a
different module name, but both having a function called
foo, the following code breaks.

import A
import B
A.foo() #Really calls B.foo

My code that uses this was originally written and worked
with the non-redhat rpms available at
http://andrich.net/python/files/python-1.5.2-2.i386.rpm

http://andrich.net/python/files/python-1.5.2-2.src.rpm
Not Found

The requested URL /python/files/python-1.5.2-2.src.rpm was not found
on this server.

Binary rpms don't do us much good...  :-)

Unfortunately, the patch that I believe breaks this for you appears
to have been added to fix something else.  I'm assigning this bug
to the developer who added that patch.  (Matt, it's
python-1.5.2-dl-global.patch -- what's this about libtool, and why
is the patch there in the first place?)

Unfortunately I can't address this until we start using the Python 2.0 package.
