Python PTH+SEM and KDE

[David Naylor]

Hi,

I built Python with PTH and SEM.  This fixed a problem I had with a python 
script I was using to compile ports.  See below for a sample script that 
triggers a freezes with forked python threads (and something to do with 
cmake).  

However some KDE ports failed to compile with the 'new' python.  It was unable 
to locate pth.h.  I commented out the HAVE_PTH line in python26/pyconfig.h 
and it succeeded to compile (if kdeutils finds pth.h it still fails to 
build).    

The KDE ports are:
misc/kdeedu4
misc/kdeutils4
x11-themes/kdeartwork4

Regards,

David

P.S. I'm not on the list
P.P.S. Please have a look at ports/130412: [UPDATE] databases/py-bsddb3 - From 
4.5.0 -> 4.7.3, the PR is close to six months old (with no word from the 
maintainer).

==================
The following python script hangs when lang/python26 is not compiled with 
semaphore support (while waiting on Popen()):
==================
#!/usr/bin/env python

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from threading import Lock, Thread

print "Acquiring lock"
lock = Lock()
lock.acquire()

def run_make():
  print "Waiting on make..."
  Popen(['make', '-C', '/usr/ports/x11-themes/qtcurve-gtk2', 'clean', 'all'],
    stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE).wait()

  print "Releasing lock"
  lock.release()

print "Starting thread"
Thread(target=run_make).start()

print "Waiting on lock..."
lock.acquire()

print "Done"
