Using Python with SciTE editor

[bobmon]

Hello,

I have a problem running Python programs from within SciTE, under
Linux --- the input( ) function fails with

"IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor"

The same program will run happily in SciTE, under Windows --- gets the
input, goes off and calculates wondrous things --- but somehow, in
Linux, I'm not set up right.

This is true using Fedora Core, and Kunbuntu (KDE in both cases, if
that matters).

I'm guessing that I need to fix one of my ".properties" configuration
files, but I have no idea what to fix.

Please help -  please, please, pleasepleasePleasePLEASEPLEASE

-bob,mon!

p.s. I know I've seen this delat with somewhere, but I can't find it.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!  TIA.

newbie needs help building Python 2.5 for Fedora Core 6

[bobmon]

Hello, and please be gentle...

I'm trying to build Python 2.5 on my Fedora Core 6 installation.  I
think I've resolved most of my problems, but "make test" reports an
error for test_socket.py, shown below.

I suppose my FC6 installation is missing something, but I have no idea
what.  Any ideas, directions, pointers would be most appreciated.

I'm trying to build Python 2.5 under FC6,  and had similar problems
(plus others).  I had to do "yum install"  'tcl-devel.i386' and 'tk-
devel.i386' to get the tcl portion to work.  HTH.

Okay, that was interesting...

Apparently there's a subtlety of /etc/hosts that affects this!
Originally it had this line:
127.0.0.1localhostlocalhost.localdomainfoobar
and I get this result for my machine ("foobar.foodomain.com"):
>>>
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostname()
'foobar.foodomain.com'
>>> socket.gethostbyname(_)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
>>>
>>>
>>> socket.gethostbyname('localhost')
'127.0.0.1'
>>> socket.gethostbyname('localhost.localdomain')
'127.0.0.1'
>>>

Whe I change /etc/hosts to this:
127.0.0.1foobarfoobar.foodomain.net
localhost.localdomain   localhost
Python is happy and I get;
>>>
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostname()
'foobar.foodomain.net'
>>> socket.gethostbyname(_)
'127.0.0.1'
>>>


So, problem "fixed" although I have no real understanding of what was
wrong or what's right now.
Only that "gethostbyname()" seems to be really sensitive to the format
of the /etc/hosts file.

Thank you, Tony Nelson.
