Author Updated: (MODPYTHON-190) python 2.5 support

Jim Gallacher updated MODPYTHON-190:
------------------------------------

Attachment: ssizecheck.diff

ssizecheck.py will include functions which are enclosed in comments in its output. Since I've added comments to mod_python src code to mark the areas which may need attention, ssizecheck.py will now give many false positives.

The attached patch ssizecheck.diff contains a small modification which will skip any comment that starts with "/* Python 2.5:"

eg

/* Python 2.5: PyTuple_New uses Py_ssize_t for input parameters */

The addition of these comments will allow us to keep track of the code areas which will need attention for full Python 2.5 / 64-bit support.
