I'm curious about what people usually do when they need to install python stuff on their unix boxes.
I had to install twisted today on openbsd, and went for the easy option, leaving everything to the package manager. Result: it was installed fine, but only in the python2.4 path, and of course my default is python 2.5, so I had to manually set the final script to point to the 2.4 executable. This also happens in your average linux distro: libs that are perfectly compatible across different versions end up in one place only. On the face of it, the best thing would be to grab the source, and then do as many installs as you have python versions installed. But it's cumbersome, and build dependencies can be a bit of a pain. So, what do you guys do? Do you rely on the package manager or do things manually? cheers -- Giacomo Lacava --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feeds available at http://groups.google.com/group/python-north-west/feeds For more options: http://groups.google.com/group/python-north-west -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
