Hi everybody,
The situation:
I wrote a GUI, based on Python, TkInter and Pmw.
It runs perfectly fine with Python 2.4 (providing, TkInter
and Pmw are
installed). But it crashes with Python 2.6. I tried this on
MacOSX11.4
and various Linux Distributions.
Crashes occurs when I activate a Pmw.Diaog (I guess this is
due to a bug
in the installed blt package), also when I use setitems on
Pmw.OptionMenu (I guess this is due to another package,
associated with
tcl/tk).
The target:
I have to get my GUI work under openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64).
My plan:
On my openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64), Python 2.6 is installed by
default.
I would like to know, how to install Python 2.4 along with
TkInter and
Pmw (and packages that are required by them), parallel to
the existing
Python 2.6. So that I do not break other software that
depends on Python
2.6.
If you can think of another plan, I would be also glad to
discuss it.
Cheers,
Simon
I suspect you want to install python 2.4 and then reinstall 2.6
I did
that in windows and I don't understand why it wouldn't work in linux
I'm afraid, installation is quit different under UNIX based systems
and Windows.
I installed Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2 from python.org
<http://python.org>, using gcc-4.3 (within openSUSE 11.1 x86_64) via
'make altinstall'.
First, I tried to configure with the following flags:
--prefix=/opt/python-24 --enable-framework --with-pydebug
This provoked an error during compilation via make (sorry, the list
was so long, but I will post it, if it helps).
The --enable-framework option is for creating Framework builds on OS X.
It won't work on Linux.
Second, configured again without any flags. The installation by
'make altinstall' to /usr/local was a success. Python2.6 seams
unaffected, too. So, I got my parallel installation.
However, I cannot import modules like Tkinter or readline within
python2.4.
For example, Tkinter.py is located in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-tk
sys.path says: ['', '/usr/local/lib/python24.zip',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-tk',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages']
sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix say: '/usr/local'
my bash's PATH variable says:
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin
Which configuration step did I miss after my Python2.4 installation?
What did I do wrong?
Again, give us the error message. We can't help if we don't know exactly
what's going on.
Sorry, here it comes:
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Jun 12 2009, 14:11:55)
[GCC 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/etc/pythonstart", line 7, in ?
import readline
ImportError: No module named readline
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):

for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
Right know, I'm following Christian's hint, to "install the development
library of tk, readline, zlib and libbz2 prior to configure && make",
because the following essential packages were not installed on my system:
autoconf automake libbz2-devel libopenssl-devel libtool ncurses-devel
readline-devel sqlite2-devel tack tcl-devel tk-devel zlib-devel
I will let you know about the result, soon.
Cheers,
Simon
