[lxml-dev] Python 2.4.1 and threading

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

I think I just discovered that lxml 1.1.2 doesn't work clearly with
Python 2.4.1 either. It appears to work with Python 2.4.3 and 4, but
when I compile it for Python 2.4.1, it segfaults when you get an
error during parsing.

When I take lxml trunk and compile it without threading support, it
does all work with Python 2.4.1. This leads me to suspect threading
support is again the issue.

Stefan, perhaps you can turn off threading support not only in
Python 2.3 but also in (at least) Python 2.4.1.

Should we be going for a new release? Perhaps the world is ready for
a lxml 1.2. We haven't done a lot of changes except for the setup.py
stuff (that is, I can't see any mentioned in the CHANGES.txt..), but 
I think those changes might warrant a new version number.

Regards,

Martijn
