Hi, just a quickie idiot question ..
Does zope use any of the python on my RH6.2 box or does it use its own copy exclusively?
I was trying to install the python xml libraries to try our the hyperdom product. I installed an rpm succesfully before remembering that zope has its own python.
only on windows...
I struggled to install a tgz version though and it struck me that I was probably not being as efficient as I could be ...
So the question is: can I run zope using the stock RH6.2 distributions' own copy of python?
check if it has threads try: import threading except: print "this won't work" import sys;sys.exit() print "you can use this python" if not normally a python install is as simple as ./configure --with-threads make su make install you might need to switch your path if you've got both pythons on your system as most will put /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin you can check which one your using with:: which python to fix it in bash :: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH cheers kapil
