Description:

Current python2 is build without fpectl support. For some modules this leads to the error:

"undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf"

Adding "--with-fpectl" to the configure-options in the PKGBUILD solves this issue.

Additional info:
* testet with 2.7.13-1
* example-module fintech


Steps to reproduce:
# pip2 install fintech

# python2
import fintech

Better solution: don't run 3rd party binaries.

From docs:

"The fpectl module is not built by default, and its usage is discouraged and may be dangerous except in the hands of experts."

Is there any other distro that enabled this module?
