Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 6062
Multiple shared libraries with same methods defined
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:52 EDT
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 Mike
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.
