updating on ftplib from 2.1 to 2.3

John fabiani

Hi,
I have a script that is not running on a freeBSD 4.4 with Python 2.1
that uses ftplib. I'm wondering if it's possible to update only the
ftplib module from 2.1 to 2.3. I only ask because I have no idea how to
upgrade anything for freeBSD 4.4. I know there is are doc's available
but I sure don't want to screw anything up on the freeBSD 4.4 server
because I didn't understand what I was doing.
Thanks
John

You can have multiple versions of python installed ...

# pkg_info | grep python
py23-gui-1.4 A cross-platform pythonic GUI API
python-2.1.3_5 An interpreted object-oriented programming language
python-2.2.3_4 An interpreted object-oriented programming language
python-2.3.4 An interpreted object-oriented programming language
python-doc-html-2.3.4 Documentation for the Python programming language
zodb-py23-3.2.2 The Z - Object Database for python

Did you try just downloading the python-2.3.4 package from
ftp.freebsd.org and installing it? I think that is your quickest
and easiest path.

One thing to be careful of is the link from /usr/local/bin/python
to one particular python instance. The package may overwrite the
link to python2.1 when it installs python2.3. If you want to put
it back to python2.1 you can ...

rm /usr/local/bin/python
ln /usr/local/bin/python2.1 /usr/local/bin/python

ftplib - uploading files using transfercmd?

Hi all, I've come across a problem that has me stumped, and I thought I'd send a message to the gurus to see if this makes sense to anyone else. =) Basically, I'm trying to upload a series of files via FTP.

Finally, I close the socket, set it to...

ftplib error- Large file

by: half.italian | last post by:

Hi all, I'm using ftplib to transfer large files to remote sites. The process seems to work perfectly with small files, but when the file gets to large ~20GB I begin getting errors that sometimes seem to be non- fatal, and other times the transfer does not complete. I've debugged the hell out of the code, and can't figure out what is going on..is it the remote site? Packet loss? Traceback (most recent call last):

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
