It's not a bug in Python. It looks to me like a configuration problem. I'm going to assume you have a good reason for bypassing your OS's package management system. In general, this is a bad idea, but since this isn't a linux administration list, I'll leave it at that. > Then I downloaded Samba with the following command: > git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba-master > Then I installed the additional openldap-devel Library > then I did the ./configure --enable-debug --enable-selftest > then initiated the make command So you configured it, and built it, but did not install it, right? You didn't do a make install or make altinstall? Installing would presumably have put the files in the right place for them to be picked up by python. Since you just built samba without installing it, it looks like you have to point python to the right place. > When I do a find / - name samba.netcmd.main > > It pulls up: NOTHING!! Right, that's not surprising. samba.netcmd.main is a python package, not a module, so it won't be named samba.netcmd.main.py or whatever you were thinking. > If I pull up : find / -name netcmd > > I get: > > /root/samba-master/python/samba/netcmd > /root/samba-master/bin/python/samba/netcmd > /root/samba-master/bin/default/python/samba/netcmd > > In my research somebody said: to export the PYTHONPATH and to change it to > the correct path of the netcmd command. You'll want to add the directory up to the "/python" bit. I'm not sure which one of those three is really the right location for the module you're looking for, but I would start by trying '/root/samba-master/bin/python'. From there, python should be able to find the samba package. > if I wanted to fix it permanently then to update my bash.rc file. > > In other words Tell my samba tool where to look, and this look is only > temporary till I close my terminal.

It's okay if you're just testing the new samba build, but you really ought to install the software, not just run it out of the build directory. Best of all would be to install a version that's actually been packaged up for your OS using the CentOS packaging system. -- Jerry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
