what about mx? this rpm provides python modules which do
date/time type conversion (and more), yet you haven't listed
it above. perhaps its installed on one machine, but not the
other?
on my centos 4 machine:
$ rpm -q mx
mx-2.0.5-3
Bingo! Cheers dude.
I was just trawling through strace output. On the functioning machine
(or at least, the one on which the code behaves as I expected) mx
isn't installed, on the others it is.
"Working" system:
[root@willspc python]# strace ./testcase.py 2>&1 | wc -l
1033
[root@willspc python]# rpm -q mx
package mx is not installed
"Broken" system:
[root@devmon1 python]# strace ./testcase.py 2>&1 | wc -l
1475
[root@devmon1 python]# rpm -q mx
mx-2.0.5-3
[root@devmon1 python]#
And a lot of those divergences appeared to be mx related though I
hadn't put 2 & 2 together until now.
On another previously "broken" system, after the removal of mx and python-MySQL
[root@stella python]# rpm -e mx MySQL-python
[root@stella python]# ./testcase.py
[('2006-10-10',), ('2006-10-11',)]
I guess it's upstream but it might be useful if that package was named
python-mx, though it could equally be argued that I should've just
done
$ rpm -q --whatrequires python
Anyway, that lets me know what the differences are, and I can either
code to take it into account, or just require/remove mx as necessary.
Thanks Bryan.
Will.
