[Python-modules-team] Bug#558112: The bug comes from the python-sip4

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

I reported the crash in october 2009:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2009-October/024707.html

The bug is the SIP library and is a regression of the SIP 4.9, and it's fixed 
in SIP 4.9.1. Related changes from SIP changelog:

-------------
2009/10/15 10:30:35  phil
Fixed a monkey patching related bug where the patch was an unbound method.


2009/10/14 10:18:48  phil
Fixed a problem monkey patching an instance with a virtual reimplementation
that was a bound method.


2009/10/13 21:02:25  phil
Fixed a bug looking for the reimplementation of a virtual in an MRO that has a
mixin that was a classic class.
-------------

SIP 4.9.1 was released the 23st October 2009, but Debian still use the version 
4.9.

The last versions are now:
 * PyQt: 4.7 upstream, 4.6.0 in Debian Sid
 * SIP: 4.10 upstream, 4.9.0 in Debian Sid

It's maybe time to upgrade both packages? :-)

Since SIP 4.9 entered Debian Testing, this crasher becomes a little bit 
critical! Debian Testing may switch quickly to SIP 4.9.1.
