Bad Magic Number with only .py deployed

I have a package of python modules deployed on an NFS mount on my
network that I use for sysadmin tools. Since some of the machines use
different versions of python I've only put the .py files in the mounted
share. However, I'm getting ImportError: Bad Magic Number when I try
to load any of the modules from the mount point. All the discussions I
can find say that a bad magic number should only occur with a
mismatched interpreter and compiled .pyc, but all that's deployed is
the .py. This should mean that any scripts that load the modules will
compile on import and so the interpreter should always be the same, but
that doesn't seem to be the case. Could this be a permission issue?
Does the interpreter panic and say Bad Magic Number if it can't write
to the same location as the .py files are? There are only 3 versions
of python on the network, but I'd rather not have to compile against
each. Actually, I just tried it again and /usr/bin/python, which is
2.3.3 imports the top level module fine, but one of the network mounted
version, which is 2.5, gives the Bad Magic Number problem on
lib/__init__.py. Neither of the intrepreters should be writing the
..pyc, so I don't see how they can get a Bad Magic Number from their own
stuff.

Hi All, Can anybody point me to a FAQ or similar that describes what all this stuff is about please?. I'm interfacing with a MySQL database if that's relavent. I've read a couple of books which refer to stripslahes and 'escaping' but nothing really explains what these terms are and why these are used. Why is 'escaping' (whatever that is) used?. What the hell is a magic quote?. How is it different from a non-magic one?. Regards, Dave

I've been experimenting with the python zipfile module, and have run into a snag. I'm able to create a new zipfile with the module's ZipFile class and add files to it. After closing the file, I'm able to view the contents of it with WinZip. I can also confirm that it is a python zip file by using the is_zipfile() method. All good so far. However, under some circumstances, I am unable to later read the file and extract its contents. ...

Hi, I am seeking to obtain the line number of an error once deployed with out inserting line numbers in the method. The IDE inserts line numbers but this function does not appear to be a deployment option. Without entering a line number eg.(10210:) in the code erl and e.tostring do not indicate the line on which the error occured. Inserting line numbers appeares to insert no-ops into the code when it is stepped through in the IDE. Is...

Are MAGIC numbers always bad? Using magic numbers (constant numbers) in programs are generally considered a bad programming practice, and it's recommended that to define constants in single, visible place in a header file. My question is that is there any situation where using magic numbers is not necessarily a bad thing? lets say that we want to initialize some private variables in a class using some constant default numbers, can we...

this is a slight change to a fequently asked question around here. I have a table which contains a "sortorder" column where a user can specify some arbitrary order for records to be displayed in. Users have sometimes ordered records the way we used to number lines in a BASIC program (10,20,30, etc.). I'd like to do an update query and fix this so that every record is in sequential order. I found an example in this newsgroup of how to...

Hi, I recently started working a lot more in python than I have done in the past. And I discovered something that totally removed the pretty pink clouds of beautifulness that had surrounded my previous python experiences: magic names (I felt almost as sad as when I discovered the strange pink worms that eat you in nethack, not to mention the mind flayers - I really hate them). I guess all programming languages have magic names to some...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
