How to Report Bugs

[Michael]

a) a bit of feedback

b) test the maillist is working

re: a. - Just read through
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/How-to-Report-Bugs and I
what is hard to find is WHERE to actually post a bug. I opened two
issues earlier this week in the "Issue" tab of the git project, but I am
uncertain if that should have been elsewhere (e.g., CPython has an
'issues' site, and when a patch is available the discussion is "mixed"
in the PR, when the focus is the patch, and in the issues when not
directly related to specific code.

I am wondering how PyInstaller manages discussions.

re: b. - just going to see where this message goes, and how long before
I see it my mailbox.

Regards,

Michael

Michael,

a) - github issues are correct. However, the volume of issues vs the people who answer is to out of balance, so don't expect much.

b) - I got it.

A "common" issue, sadly. I'll try and make a PR as a starting point.

Quick question - is there a "python" way to export an environment
variable. That would, imho as an AIX expert, be a better way to pass an
ABI setting (64-bit). For that patch, initially, I would test that the
environment is either not set, or set to 32 (as 32-bit is the default
environment) and other wise exit with "environment is not set properly
to support 64-bit builds". -- That is one issue. The other is merely a
typo (capital 'Z' should be lowercase 'z').

But some feedback on what PyInstaller prefers to tell (or fix silently)
when the environment is not correct would be good.
