pymemcompat.h:10:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory Python.h, from the python headers is missing. There is no python2.6- dev package in debian that I see and that file doesn't show up on packages.debian.org. I suspect apt-get source python2.6 would get the libraries and you could point it to those headers. Debian still has a <2.6 dependency on python-mysql which means that you won't be able to use a packaged version in Ubuntu unless ubuntu has self-packaged. They have done that in the past with Firefox and a few other packages.

However, if you have python 2.6 and install python-mysql, it will install python 2.5 which won't be your default. You can use update-alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python2.5 to set your default. Also, when you build your virtual environment, you can use python 2.5 for it with the packaged version rather than 2.6. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
