Subject: python2.2: Missing important curses calls

Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 15:03:48 -0600 (CST)

Package: python2.2
Version: 2.2.2-4
Severity: important

The curses library is missing two important calls:

newterm() -- required to work with multiple terminals, or to find out if it
is possible to work with this terminal

delscreen() -- required to free up the memory after endwin() -- current
implementations have memory leaks for programs that need to start and stop
(those that handle terminal resizes, for instance)

-- System Information
Debian Release: testing/unstable
Kernel Version: Linux wile 2.4.19 #1 Wed Nov 27 09:54:55 CST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

John, please could you submit upstream reports directly on
python.sf.net and send me a CC? upstream asked that bug submitters
send the reports directly, because that eases communication a lot.

I'm willing to backport patches that are applied in the HEAD branch.

Thanks, Matthias

Unfortunately, it's not so easy from this end, and if I had to do
that, I'd probably just not report them at all.  I often am working on
a computer without Web access (e-mails get queued up for sending when
I'm connected later), and I don't always have all my passwords (such
as for sourceforge) with me.  And, commenting on those bugs is just as
annoying (having to go back to the sf website).  At least this way
they get recorded *somewhere*.

Maybe we need a sf module for reportbug

Subject: closing bugs against ancient python2.4

Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2015 12:03:46 +0200

python2.4 has been obsoleted in Debian long ago. I'm now closing the
remaining bugs against this ancient version, assuming they have been
fixed (or became irrelevant) in newer releases.

Feel free to provide more information and reopen the bugs if they are
still reproducible in the current versions (python2.7, python3.x).
