New submission from Lennart Regebro: If you install Python 3.3b2 with "sudo make install", a standard way of installing it so that users don't have rights to install global modules, then everytime lib2to3.pgen2.driver.load_grammar() is called, it aims to generate a a grammar table and write it as a pickle to a cache file.
However, unless you are superuser when doing this, writing the file will of course fail, with a message similar to this: INFO:root:Generating grammar tables from /opt/python33/lib/python3.3/lib2to3/PatternGrammar.txt INFO:root:Writing grammar tables to /opt/python33/lib/python3.3/lib2to3/PatternGrammar3.3.0.beta.2.pickle INFO:root:Writing failed:[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/python33/lib/python3.3/lib2to3/PatternGrammar3.3.0.beta.2.pickle' A workaround is to run the script that creates the above errors as superuser once, and the message goes away. I think the correct thing to do here is for make install to Generate these grammar tables and write the pickle. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Python 3.3.b2 with "./configure;make;sudo make install" 2. Check out the Distribute sources: "hg clone https://bitbucket.org/stefanholek/distribute"; 3. Run the Distribute tests: "python3.3 setup.py test" ---------- messages: 168854 nosy: lregebro priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: make install should generate grammar file type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15760> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
