RE: [Zope] Zope with python 2.1.3, but my linux uses python 2.2
You need Python 2.1 and the modules compiled with/for it, because a lot of modules, esp. database stuff, uses C code linked to the Python interpreter. Move /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.2 - Install Python 2.1.3 from source. Have the binary be installed as /usr/bin/python2.1 and set up /usr/bin/python as a symlink to python2.2... Make sure your /usr/lib/python tree is actually /usr/lib/python2.2 and respectively, /usr/lib/python2.1. It is quite likely that to keep your 2.2 binary install from getting messed up, you will need to symlink /usr/lib/python to /usr/lib/python2.2. Install Zope from source tar file by untarring and running wo_pcgi.py with /usr/bin/python2.1. In theory, this should work. Sean P.S. You could always consider a switch to Debian, which keeps official packages for both python2.1 and python2.2, along with all the module goodies for each. Modules and related packages for both (125 for 2.2, 123 for 2.1): http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=python2.2-&se archon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=python2.1-&se archon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all -----Original Message----- From: Peter Bengtsson [mailto:mail@peterbe.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 9:22 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope with python 2.1.3, but my linux uses python 2.2 I use Mandrake 8.2 which installs python 2.2 by default and with it lots of useful modules like mysql-python, postgresql-python (or whatever that was called), PIL and python support of emacs.

Thank you! That worked. I might actually consider debian instead for servers that are mainly meant for Zope stuff. Thankful, Peter At 10:25 2002-09-03 -0700, sean.upton@uniontrib.com wrote:
