Description Maxim Dzumanenko 2001-12-21 18:31:07 MSK 
python 2.1.1 has ben compiled without LFS
although it normally supported by python under glibc2.2
---

---
Please, try this:
&gt; f = open(\'/dev/hda\',\'r\')
&gt; f.seek(2000000000L,0)
&gt; f.tell()
returns 2000000000L, but 
&gt; f.seek(3000000000L,0)
cause an error!!! But this should work!
And this works fine when I rebuild Python by myself.
Now I can\'t provide details abount what flags I use because I can\'t remember it. 
But I\'ll do it as soon as I can.

It is not true.
Python 2.1.1 has ben compiled with LFS support.
Probably you are using non-LFS filesystem, such as reiserfs-3.5

Comment 3 Dmitry V. Levin 2002-01-30 12:46:25 MSK 
Python 2.1.1 built with LFS, so it\'s not a bug at all.
