I'm looking for binaries of Python (2.3.4, preferably) which run on
Solaris and HP-UX. I need to be able to install them as a non-root
user (hence, to a private directory, something like ~/bin).
Do such things exist, and if so where would I find them? I'm not a
Unix admin, so if the answer is a pointer to a well-known archive
site, I'd appreciate that. There was nothing I could find at
python.org.
Sadly, I'm not sure that any of the systems I work on have
development tools installed, so building from source isn't an option.
(Well, it is if I can find a user-installable version of gcc, a
development environment, etc...)
Thanks,
Paul

HP offers precompiled packages of free software at the DSPP pages: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/...1,4682,00.html
The same holds for Solaris, but I forgot the link - as simple
websearch should help you.

That installs to /usr/local, unfortunately. As I said, I need
something that will install as an unprivileged user :-( I suspect
that Sun's version is similar (ones I found via websearch certainly
were).
Thanks,
Paul.

If you take a closer look you will see, that the HP packages can be
unpacked anywhere. Its just a little more work then using the
installer.
BTW I'm working for company which solved this problem by allowing
everybody to write to /usr/local.

I apologise for being dense here - as I said, I am not familiar with
Unix admin (I'm an Oracle DBA, in fact). I checked the Python package
linked to from that site, which takes me to the HP-UX porting and
archive centre. The binary distribution is a compressed depot file,
which isn't a format I'm familiar with, but the FAQ states:
"""
5.5 What do I do with SD 11.X depot packages?
You can either install software onto your system using swinstall(1M),
or you can redistribute the software using swcopy(1M) and others may
then install the software directly from your machine. Both actions
require root access.
"""
I searched the FAQ on that site, and can see nothing about installing
as a non-root user.
BTW I'm working for company which solved this problem by allowing everybody to write to /usr/local.
BTW2 I do not working as a system administrator for this company;)
Ah - an enlightened company :-) Unfortunately, I'm working for a
company that does 3rd party support for *other* companies. By the
time you have 2 layers of admin and "security" rules in place, you're
lucky if you can get access to ksh... :-(
I really don't want to write our admin scripts in Perl, just because
it comes preinstalled :-(

While trying to learn more about Python's standard modules, I noticed

they'll ever become apart of the official Python distribution. It looks
as if something similar already exists for Macs with all these Mac only

Folks,
I am trying to build the binaries for Python 2.4.3 on a Sun E6900
running SPARC Solaris 9 and using gcc 3.4.2.
When the makefile tries to build the _curses extension it fails with a
symbol referencing error on "mvwgetnstr", which it appears should exist
in libcurses.so. For some reason it seems this function does not exist
in the version of libcurses.so shipped with Solaris 9.

I just read this mail by Brett Cannon:

where the "PSF infrastracture committee", after weeks of evaluation, recommends

for Python itself.
Does this smell "Bitkeeper fiasco" to anyone else than me?

Hi,
I am trying to get a small group of volunteers together to create
Windows binaries for any Python extension developer that needs them,
much like the package/extension builders who volunteer their time to
create Linux RPMs.
The main thing I need are people willing to test the binaries to make
sure the extension is stable. This would require installing the binary
and probably downloading the source too to get the developer's test
