Brian,

I've got jamu working on my CentOS 5.4 system but took a slightly different approach. I compiled Python 2.6 from source and installed it in a different location (/packages/python26) to avoid conflicts. I had to add a few extra modules but I don't remember it being too painful.

One thing that is a bit annoying is changing the scripts in /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts to use python2.6 instead of python2.4 every time I update mythtv.

Steve.

Hello atrpms users,
I was trying to get jamu working on CentOS 5 and ran across a thread
detailing the steps required to get it working.  I installed python26
from 
http://www.geekymedia.com/tech-articles/rhel5-centos5-rpms-for-python-2-5-and-2-6/
and realized I still needed to recompile a ton of other packages to
get jamu working properly.

I recompiled python-setuptools as python26-setuptools.  I also rebuilt
MySQL-python as MySQL-python26.  In order to get MythTV bindings, I
patched the python bindings to use /usr/bin/python2.6 and recompiled
MythTV just to grab the python26-MythTV package.  I still require
python26-imdb and its requirements (python26-BeautifulSoup,
python26-lxml, python26-sqlobject).

I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through such paces just to get
jamu working and if it would make sense to bundle all this into
atrpms-testing or atrpms-bleeding for others to benefit.  I believe
the only other option to get jamu working is to migrate the backend
from CentOS to Fedora or another newer distro.
