HI
I have multiple python installations. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4. When I install a
new package (pygtk2) , it always install in python 2.3.
I changed the /usr/bin/python to be 2.4 binary. Still the same behavior.
How does rpms, determine which installation to update ? Is there a
file somewhere ?
I am running in to this on Fedora as well as CenOS.
Thanks

Not sure what you mean by package: RPM package or distutils package?
If RPM package: binary package or source package?
Binary RPM packages have the Python version compiled into their
extension modules, and you can't change that without recompilation.
In addition, they have the directory and file names hard-coded in
the RPM archive.
Source RPM packages have the Python version coded into their spec
file. You should read the spec file to find out what Python version
it uses.
Distutils packages use the Python version you use to run setup.py,
so you should be able to install either with "python2.4 setup.py",
or get a different Python selected by changing /usr/bin/python.
Since you specifically asked about RPMs, I guess distutils packages
are of no interest to you, though.

Martin
Does not help my immediate situation, but this understanding definitely
helps.
Thanks

Hi,
are there any guidelines about what to do if a Windows extension for
Python 2.4 requires the C++ runtime (msvcp71.dll)? If I want to
distribute a binary installer of an extension that contains C++ code,
should I really include the msvcp71.dll in the package? It doesn't
sound like a good idea to me if every package places another copy of
this dll somewhere in the Python directory.
Python 2.4 does install the C runtime (msvcr71.dll)...

Hi,
I recently setup mod_python successfully and things work smooth.
However, I do not remember telling mod_python where to find Python
installation. There's not environment variable which gives that
information. As such how does mod_python know where to find Python ?
When I print sys.path in my scripts it contains my python installation
folder. I'm wondering how does Apache/mod_python get this
information ?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
