does not work on mac os x

[Deleted user]

Hi,

when running the following file (sent to me by Mr Andres Riancho):

from pybloomfilter import BloomFilter

bf = BloomFilter(10000, 0.001, '/tmp/bloom.remove.me')
bf.add(1)
assert 1 in bf
assert not 2 in bf

print 'Success!'

python2.6 ./bloom-test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bloom-test.py", line 3, in
bf = BloomFilter(10000, 0.001, '/tmp/bloom.remove.me')
File "pybloomfilter.pyx", line 125, in
pybloomfilter.BloomFilter.cinit (src/pybloomfilter.c:2347)
MemoryError

python2.7 ./bloom-test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bloom-test.py", line 3, in
bf = BloomFilter(10000, 0.001, '/tmp/bloom.remove.me')
File "pybloomfilter.pyx", line 125, in
pybloomfilter.BloomFilter.cinit (src/pybloomfilter.c:2347)
MemoryError

FYI, I installed bloomFilter using easy_install-2.x

it is not a permission problem:

$ touch /tmp/bloom.remove.me
$ echo $?
0

Let us know if there is something we can do to help you correctly implement this lib for OSX :) , I've been using this in my open source project (w3af) for a while and would like to continue using it without incompatibilities with this OS.

As was the case with #22, this is not an OS X specific issue. This is also occurring on recent versions of Arch Linux.

I too have this issue on Ubuntu 11. Seems 0.3.6 (commit 93621b8) works, however when I update to the latest 0.3.6 (commit be40e8c) the issue appears (under w3af).

Also, I tried running the test scripts within the pybloomfiltermmap files and it seems to fail on every version I have tested. (not sure if it is relevant or not).

Awesome! Thanks axiak and oleiade for the fix.
