os x make install dies when compiling zipfile.py on 2.5 and 2.4.4

metaperl

I've tried both Python 2.4.4 and Python 2.5. I'm trying to build from
source and install under a local directory Swarm since OpenSwarm
requires builds of Postgres and Python under it's control.

Ok, so I did

../configure --prefix=/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5

but during make install I get this:

Compiling
/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py
....
Compiling
/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py
....
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1


and the same thing happens for Python 2.4.4 leaving me without a
platform-depedent install directory in my build.. any ideas?

I've experienced the exact same with 2.4.4.

uname -a on the machine I built it on (SunOS 5.7, binaries should be
forwards-compatible with 5.7-5.10):
SunOS hostname-here 5.7 Generic_106541-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4

And the machine on which it was being installed (because it has write
access to the NFS mount I want it installed on):
SunOS hostname-here 5.10 Generic_118822-25 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210

I only *just* hit this and haven't dug further for a solution. If
anyone knows about this please respond, otherwise I'll post any
progress I make.

Sorry about the top-post earlier.

I just tested installing 2.4.4 on the same machine that built it--- it
ran without a complaint. The line that follows the "Compiling
zipfile.py" line (possibly the one that is failing for us) is as
follows:

Compiling /Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py ...
PYTHONPATH=/Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4 \
./python -Wi -t
/Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4/compileall.py \
-d /Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4/site-packages
-f \
-x badsyntax
/Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4/site-packages
Listing /Home/admin/sayotte/python-test/lib/python2.4/site-packages ...

Were you by chance also executing the build and install steps on
different platforms?

utility for install in zipped distutils packages

by: Craig D | last post by:

I got really tired of unpacking a distutils package, installing then cleaning up. So I wrote distinstall.py - it reads a zip file, unpacks it, installs the bits and cleans up. I've only used it on windows and Linux and for pure Python packages. Windows: distinstall.py Photronics.zip Linux: python distinstall.py Photronics.zip Hopefully somebody else will find it useful. #======================== distinstall.py =====================

module: zipfile.writestr - line endings issue

Hi I'm probably doing something stupid but I've run into a problem whereby I'm trying to add a csv file to a zip archive - see example code below. The csv just has several rows with carriage return line feeds (CRLF). However after adding it to an archive and then decompressing the line endings have been converted to just line feeds (LF).
