Looking at the log file, the error is actually sys:1: RuntimeWarning: not adding directory '' to sys.path since it's writable by an untrusted group. Untrusted users could put files in this directory which might then be imported by your Python code. As a general precaution from similar exploits, you should not execute Python code from this directory
Maybe you're trying to build as root? I don't think that will work. On Saturday, November 22, 2014 8:55:07 PM UTC-8, John H Palmieri wrote: > > The files in /usr/lib/python2.7 are not relevant.
