-_bsddb
- To use the version of bsddb that Python is built with by default, invoke
- (in the dist directory)
-
- svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/db-4.4.20
-
- Then open db-4.4.20\build_win32\Berkeley_DB.dsw and build the "db_static"
- project for "Release" mode.
-
- Alternatively, if you want to start with the original sources,
- go to Sleepycat's download page:
- http://www.sleepycat.com/downloads/releasehistorybdb.html
-
- and download version 4.4.20.
-
- With or without strong cryptography? You can choose either with or
- without strong cryptography, as per the instructions below. By
- default, Python is built and distributed WITHOUT strong crypto.
-
- Unpack the sources; if you downloaded the non-crypto version, rename
- the directory from db-4.4.20.NC to db-4.4.20.
-
- Now apply any patches that apply to your version.
-
- To run extensive tests, pass "-u bsddb" to regrtest.py. test_bsddb3.py
- is then enabled. Running in verbose mode may be helpful.
-
- XXX The test_bsddb3 tests don't always pass, on Windows (according to
- XXX me) or on Linux (according to Barry). (I had much better luck
- XXX on Win2K than on Win98SE.) The common failure mode across platforms
- XXX is
- XXX DBAgainError: (11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable -- unable
- XXX to join the environment')
- XXX
- XXX and it appears timing-dependent. On Win2K I also saw this once:
- XXX
- XXX test02_SimpleLocks (bsddb.test.test_thread.HashSimpleThreaded) ...
- XXX Exception in thread reader 1:
- XXX Traceback (most recent call last):
- XXX File "C:\Code\python\lib\threading.py", line 411, in __bootstrap
- XXX self.run()
- XXX File "C:\Code\python\lib\threading.py", line 399, in run
- XXX apply(self.__target, self.__args, self.__kwargs)
- XXX File "C:\Code\python\lib\bsddb\test\test_thread.py", line 268, in
- XXX readerThread
- XXX rec = c.next()
- XXX DBLockDeadlockError: (-30996, 'DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK: Locker killed
- XXX to resolve a deadlock')
- XXX
- XXX I'm told that DBLockDeadlockError is expected at times. It
- XXX doesn't cause a test to fail when it happens (exceptions in
- XXX threads are invisible to unittest).
