So far, I've been trying out Qooxdoo using one of my Suse-based servers,
which contains a fairly recent Python version. Today, I downloaded the
new 0.8.2 version and want to use it on my older Redhat FC3 Linux
desktop, but I found that this system only has Python 2.3.4 installed,
causing the Qooxdoo scripts to fail. So, I downloaded and installed the
Python 2.4 rpm to meet the Qooxdoo minimum requirements, but the system
uses the older Python by default. I can run the create-application.py
script by changing the python entry in the first line of the script
from:
#!/usr/bin/env python
to:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.4
This causes the script to run under the new Python 2.4 version instead
of the default Python 2.3.4 that runs as "python". I found 77 python
scripts in the Qooxdoo download that would need to be updated
accordingly.
So, I tried to uninstall the Python 2.3.4 via rpm, but it reports
dependencies in other parts of the Redhat installation.
Does anyone know how I should properly handle this version conflict
without causing OS system problems? I could change all of the Python
scripts within the Qooxdoo framework to use Python 2.4, but I don't know
if that's the right way to solve the problem. If I force the uninstall
of the Python 2.3.4 version, will the Redhat system automatically use
the newer Python 2.4 that I've installed, or will I cause myself other
grief?
If I edit all of the tool scripts to specify Python 2.4, are there other
"gotchas" within Qooxdoo that will cause me problems in the tool chain
because of the current default Python version?
Thanks,
