I have today decided to redo all python installs on my debian machine
because of the existence of python2.5 stuff in a lot of places. I have
installed python 2.7.2. I have subsequently installed sympy 0.7.1 and
ipython 0.12. However, I am having some strange things happening when
I try to do an install of easy_install. I am trying to use ez_setup
run to put in setuptools but it won't run. Here is the junk:
debian:~/Downloads> sudo python ez_setup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ez_setup.py", line 278, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "ez_setup.py", line 210, in main
egg = download_setuptools(version, delay=0)
File "ez_setup.py", line 132, in download_setuptools
import urllib2, shutil
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 94, in <module>
import httplib
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 79, in <module>
import mimetools
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/mimetools.py", line 6, in <module>
import tempfile
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/tempfile.py", line 34, in <module>
from random import Random as _Random
ImportError: Bad magic number in /home/comer/Downloads/random.pyc
Sorry to bother the list with dribble about python-related installs,
but my debian box seems to be a mishmash as over the last three years
I have put in quite a lot of stuff and it is not clear that it is
consistent. I am trying to do a fresh install of everything but
squeeze has a lot of python stuff installed (all based on python
2.5). I am trying to redo all including sympy and ipython and now
need to put in lots of stuff that I will need (numpy etc).
Thanks for help.
