Hello.

There is a problem in the postgresql-python package.

After installing postgresql 7.2-2a and the corresponding 
postgresql-python, I am unable to run the examples contained in
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-python-7.2/tutorial

This is also confirmed when running Python from the command line:


[root@alba2 tutorial]# python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Mar 11 2002, 08:41:17)  [GCC 2.95.4 20010319 
(prerelease/franzo on linux-ppc
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import pg
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/pg.py", line 7, in ?
    from _pg import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/_pgmodule.so: undefined 
symbol: _PyString_Join
>>>

This is confirmed by nm:

[root@alba2 tutorial]# nm /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/_pgmodule.so|grep _PyString_Join
         U _PyString_Join


Here are the details of the rpms installed on my machine.

[root@alba2 tutorial]# rpm -qa|grep postgres
postgresql-perl-7.2-2a
postgresql-tk-7.2-2a
postgresql-contrib-7.2-2a
postgresql-jdbc-7.2-2a

python-1.5.2-35a
postgresql-python-7.2-2a
python-devel-1.5.2-35a
python2-2.1.1-2


I also tried to rebuild everything from the .src rpm, but it didn't help.

The http://bugs.yellowdoglinux.com seems to be down, so, what is the 
correct way to report this bug?

Or does someone have an idea on how to make it working?

Thank you!
