    freebsd thread problem

    Hi there,
    I have installed python(2.4.3) & trac(0.9.4) on freebsd(4.8) from the ports collection and I seem to have an underlying problem with the thread module.

    Pysqlite is calling 'import thread' which is failing with "no such module" and causing it not to load. I thought that 'thread' was one of the core sys.modules and when I install python via ports I can see in the makefile that threading is turned on.

    Salling 'import thread' from the python prompt yields the same result.

    I have a 'threading.py' and a 'dummy_thread.p y' in my /usr/local/lib/python2.4 folder and I only have one version of python installed.

    Can anyone help me with this? I've googled it and can't find any mention of a similar problem anywhere else. I've also been through the trac mailing-list, but it doesn't seem like a trac-specific problem.

    All/any help greatly appreciated

      How did you install python? By default, if built from ports, it should
      pop up a configuration dialog in which one of the options is to enable
      thread support. If you have a bad configuration record, you can do a
      "make config" in /usr/ports/lang/python to re-create it.

      (if there's no such option, then maybe using threads with python is
      disabled in 4.x)
