python-librdf raises errors when using unicode

[Jasper Op de Coul]

When using the python bindings in lucid (never had any problems before)
exceptions are sometimes raised (random) when creating an RDF.Node from a unicode string.

>>> import RDF
>>> for i in range(100): RDF.Node(u'föööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö')
...
SystemError: error return without exception set

I compiled redland-bindings-1.0.10.1 and redland-1.0.10 from the librdf.org tarballs, but
this did not fix it. When I compiled a fresh Python-2.6.6, everything worked again.

the python build is configured with --enable-unicode=ucs4, I assume you didn't do that with your rebuild. So maybe redland-bindings has issues with that?

[Jasper Op de Coul (jasper-infrae)]

It looks like ucs4 is not the problem, older pythons were also ucs4 and librdf worked fine.

The problem went away when I installed newer redland-bindings (redland-1.0.11 and redland-bindings-1.0.11.1)
from the librdf.org site. These were released last week.
