pip 1.5.4 cause segfault under python3.2 under cygwin

[georgthegreat]

(test)georg@georg-notebook:~$ pip --version
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  pip --version

Works fine with 1.4.1:

(main)georg@georg-notebook:~$ pip --version
pip 1.4.1 from /home/georg/env/main/lib/python3.2/site-packages (python 3.2)

Unfortunately, all I have is the following stackdump:

Which OS version/architecture? which Cygwin version/architecture?

[georgthegreat]

I'm using latest x64 cygwin on Win7 x64.

[grzn]

and that's Cygwin's Python you're using, right? or a package from python.org?

[Ivoz]

The unicode width consolidation in 3.3 might solve this.

[grzn]

reproduced.

[grzn]

after bisecting, commit 651a961 is the last commit that was working; and commit ff2854a is to blame

the problem is with the uuid module:

[grzn]

there's a workaround in stackoverflow that says to install the libuuid-devel package; I verified it solves the problem. I'll report this to Cygwin so they'll add the dependency

[grzn]

reported to the cygwin mailing list

[georgthegreat]

Thanks!
