Hi list, It looks like the python interpreter environment is easily movable between two directories because the sys.prefix variable is changed automatically when I run the interpreter so the interpreter will find his libraries... however in the Python documentation I found that (http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html?highlight=sys#sys.prefix) the sys.prefix is defined at the compile time with ./configure --prefix=dir command... Can I use this in production without any problem of the paths?
Please consider the following test, after I use ./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.6.4 && make && make install: [r...@centos-5-4-test1 ~]# /opt/python2.6.4/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Jan 20 2010, 20:26:15) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. ...import sys ...sys.prefix '/opt/python2.6.4' ...sys.path ['', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python26.zip', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/opt/python2.6.4/lib/python2.6/site-packages'] [r...@centos-5-4-test1 ~]# mv /opt/python2.6.4/ /opt/python2.6.4_newplace [r...@centos-5-4-test1 ~]# /opt/python2.6.4_newplace/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Jan 20 2010, 20:26:15) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. ...import sys ...sys.prefix '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace' ...sys.path ['', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python26.zip', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/opt/python2.6.4_newplace/lib/python2.6/site-packages'] Thanks for the help, Balazs _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
