The list of requirements is (the minimum versions): python 2.7.1 not 3.x Sooner or later Python 3.2 will be provided in OI SFE but I am not sure how much it can coexists with 2.6 As Jan points out in his post 2.x and 3.x can coexist fine. By design, since python 3 is so different from python 2.4-2.7 it is supposed to be invoked as python3. Per the release Python 3.0, also known as “Python 3000” or “Py3K”, is the first ever intentionally backwards incompatible Python release. This duality is normal, and so you have a 2.x and a 3.x series interpreter. As far as handling multiple python from a 2.x series, that is also possible. For example, Solaris 10 is stuck at 2.4, so /usr/bin/python is python 2.4. I installed 2.6 and If you put python2.6 in your #! statement, then it will call that. You can also install setuptools to that 2.6 and if you call the easy_install from the python 2.6, all the eggs are fetched and installed correctly in the 2.6, even though 2.4 is the main version. Going back to calibre, 3.x wouldn't help. It is written using syntax that is unique to 2.x, and is close 2.6, except the heavy use of dictionary features that are only in 2.7, such as dictionary comprehension. I think this is the first 2.x based project I've encountered to use that (calibre is also not your typical python project in that it has quite a dependency on binary libs). In other words, it needs python 2.7. We probably need it anyway if we are to grow our python community.

So the infrastructure is in place, only somebody has to prepare bits for oi-build. In SFE there is spec for python3, only clash in deliverables is 2to3 which is delivered by OI 2.6 already.

The Python 'altinstall' option is your friend here through all v2s of python. In fact - if memory serves, since v3.0(?), I believe 'make install' is now an alias for 'make altinstall'. The 'make fullinstall' option now exists for when you're ready to make the jump to v3-as-default. Really, the developer has fully granular control over which binary to use in a given environment; they coexist quite nicely in separate trees. (Some crazy developer might well have 2.4, 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2, all in harmonious cohabitation.) Of course, the only big gotcha is that the binary named 'python' is called, by default, by many things - and so should be agreed upon. We can make the determination of which version is to be so blessed as 'The OS Version' as necessary bits and pieces make it into versions. Fwiw, I've suggested we use these binary naming conventions within our own userland builds; they seem to accommodate most developer use cases (we have many), and allow for rapid transition in the future; for example, for all the system-level uses of python.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Calibre doc converter to ebooks formats for OpenIndiana??
Is there a version of the Calibre ebook/epub doc converter for OpenIndiana? Or any other SW that can convert a PDF book to epub? Epub (or other ebook formats) are much more readable on smartphones than standard PDFs ususally are, due to the text reflow capability. So I'd like to be able to convert even large pdf docs to some ebook format, so I can take large manuals along on trips. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Most are only an easy_install away. Except lxml which requires pycrypto, and there you have to modify _fastmath.h to find the gmp.h and then it'll go. PyQT requires sip (from the same website as pyqt) but that also was easy. Got pyqt working. Not too bad, until I realized that Python 2.7.x is _really_ needed. I thought it was just one or two tweaks, but he's using heavily dictionary comprehension and other stuff. I'm not even going to try until 2.7 is part of the OS. BTW in the process I noticed that MagickWand.pc is named Wand.pc on OI... ln -s Wand.pc MagickWand.pc takes care of that, in case anybody else comes upon that particular problem Francois ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
