[pygsear] penguin errors

[john fleming]

Lee,
    "funcs should just be a list of about 30 or so strings. Try
printing it out instead of shuffling:

      funcs = self.pete.testfuncs()
      print funcs
      #random.shuffle(funcs)"

results:


python penguin.py

"To me this looks like a problem with your python installation.
I remember seeing a few weeks ago people reporting some weird
stuff between python gentoo and glibc."

I did update glibc last week or so as part of a gentoo update.
So I believe you called it.
