Python V2.4.2 source code

[John Dean]

Hi

Does anybody know from where I can get a copy of the source for Python
V2.4.2. I downloaded what is reckoned to be the source code from
www.python.org, but is turns out to be the MacXOS version with the core
modules missing. The reason I am looking for the source code is so I can
make a debug build

the source archives available here seem to be complete:

http://www.python.org/2.4.2/

note that there are no separate source distributions for specific platforms.
the source archive contain lots of platform-specific directories and modules,
including modules for OS X.

Can you post a link to the tarball that you downloaded?

Hi

That particular file doesn't include the implementation files for the core
modules. The platform specific directories only include two or three files.
Only the Mac directory contains any C code files

modules.

*Which* particular file? Give us a URL. The source tarball at
http://www.python.org/2.4.2/ (full URL
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.2/Python-2.4.2.tgz) contains the full
source.

sounds like your gzip/tar utilities are broken.

Ah, that explains why it wouldn't compile...

Hi
Thank you very much. It seems the version tar that is embedded in WinRAR is
broken. It gets as far as the Mac directory and then bombs out. The version
of tar that is bundled with CygWin worked just fine
