swap.py woes

Dirk Eddelbuettel
Hi all,

I was playing with the idea of making functionality akin to swap.py
available via my still-too-poor-on-features RQuantLib codelet.  Trouble is,
I can't even run swap.py reliably.  Most of the time it just seems to go
away on an endless loop. I have seen seg.faults too but I am not clueful
enough with Python to debug this.

As at least Luigi is also running Debian, could some of you please
confirm/deny whether it works for you?  Related may be the fact that I still
need to disable two of the regression tests for QL-Python during the Debian
builds.

Happy 2005,  regards,  Dirk

Dirk,
        it does works for me. However, I'm running Sarge---do I understand  
correctly that the autobuilder machines are running Sid instead? Which  
release are you using?

Yes, I think so. Again, those tests do run correctly on my machine. But  
curiously enough, I have the same endless-loop behavior with Ruby, which  
doesn't happen to you.

Cluelessly yours,
        Luigi

Well, my normal machine is a testing one.  The package building happens in
batch mode in an unstable chroot, but my normal dabbling around is on
testing (and a smaller/older box running unstable).

Odd.

Ah, well, that is two of us then.
