[Bug 1238244] Re: pyconfig.h is missing HAVE_MEMMOVE

[Matt Black]

I can confirm the bug exists installing PyXML 0.8.4 (latest at time of
writing) from pypi on Ubuntu trusty 14.04.

Following xnox comments above, I checked for HAVE_MEMMOVE, and he's
quite right. Obviously the build is still broken though.

> grep HAVE_MEMMOVE /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h
> echo $?
1
> grep HAVE_MEMMOVE /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7/pyconfig.h
#define HAVE_MEMMOVE 1

Title:
  pyconfig.h is missing HAVE_MEMMOVE

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After upgrading to kubuntu 13.04, I found that I was unable to install
  pyxml via setuptools. It would throw the following error during the
  build process:

  extensions/expat/lib/xmlparse.c:75:2: error: #error memmove does not
  exist on this platform, nor is a substitute available

  Appending the following line to /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h
  seems to resolve the issue:

  #define HAVE_MEMMOVE 1
