Error 1 during install of python 2.5 on CentOS

nat
Hi guys,

I'm running CentOS 4.4 and the current version on my system is Python
2.3.4. Ideally I wanted to use an RPM to update the system python
but a lot of dependencies failed and since I need to run the latest
Python for a particular script, I read on this group somewhere a
suggestion to run both on the same server and use:

"make altinstall"
So I downloaded the 2.5 tarball and ran ./configure and then 'make
altinstall'

Somewhere during the make it gave these errors. It continued after the
first error below but then that "Error 1" error is the last line and
it stopped there.
These are the errors:
Sorry: UnicodeError: ("\\N escapes not supported (can't load
unicodedata module)",)

make: *** [libinstall] Error 1

I can't find any information about this error. I'm kind of new to
compiling from sources so I don't what to do from here.

/usr/bin has no phython2.5 in it, so I take it the install didn't
complete.
Any ideas what to do from here?
Thanks
Nat

Hi All, I am trying to install win32 extension 162 on python 2.2.3 on a virtual (vmware) machine with win2k server sp3 (but I tested that the same happens on either win2k sp2 or win2ksp3 on a real biprocessor).

Ladies and gentlemen, I've imported some data from a MySQL database into a Python dictionary. I'm attempting to tidy up the date fields, but I'm receiving a 'mx.DateTime.Error: cannot convert value to a time value' error. It's related to glibc returning an error to a pre-1970 date, I think. My question: /how/ do I go through the Python direction I've created to remove the pre-1970 date objects? Ideally, I would be able to iterate...

How do I influence the platform type during install? Could you look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's still using information from get_platform instead of using my preference. # python setup.py install --install-purelib=lib.linux=i686-2.3 --install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages running install running build running build_py

Hi all, Can someone throw some light on this problem? (is trying to run Python 2.4.2 on an old win95 box a reasonable thing to do?) I keep my old win95 box for an old eprom programmer that won't plug into a new box (needs an ISA socket!). Also use it for network testing. No problem with Py 2.3 but wanting to use the latest Twisted I upgraded to 2.4.2. Installing Mark Hammond's pywin32-207.win32-py2.4.exe (or prev version -205) I get...

I have found that the sunfreeware.com build of Python 2.4.3 for Solaris 10 is faster than one I can build myself, on the same system. sunfreeware.com doesn't bother showing the options they used to configure and build the software, so does anyone know what the optimal build options are for Solaris 10 (x86)? Here are some pybench/pystone results, and I include the same comparison of Python2.4.3 running on CentOS 4.3 on the same hardware...

The subject line says it all. Is there a way to install wxPython on a Windows machine without admin privs? I love the way python doesn't need admin to install locally, and I'd like to try wxPython w/o having to get our help desk involved. Do I have to compile it from source with Cygwin? Thanks.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
