Hi. On our main server, we've installed Invenio with Python 2.4 as it is the version that's currently "official". However our export software that manages the extraction of the records from the old system and the upload to Invenio uses multiprocessing and therefore we need to run it with Python 2.6.
At first I simply added symlinks to the Invenio libraries in /usr/lib(64)?/python2.6/site-packages but ran into problems because the intbitset library is compiled with Python 2.4. I am not satisfied with the solution I found to make the Invenio libraries available to several versions of Invenio, which is to install a whole new Invenio directory with another Python executable (./configure --with-python=...) and make the symlinks to this new directory. This means that we have to always install twice and we have the risk of having inconsistent libraries and therefore can run into problems. So is there a way to install intbitset on its own and link to the same libraries from different versions of Python?
