I agree that our current fix (do nothing) for X86-64 on Fedora Core is
insufficient.  I've reopened ticket:39 and will kludge our code to
work around the brain damage in FC.

2006/11/23, David P. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


This seems to me to be clean and "correct".   It has the result that if
you are running a 32-bit version of python, you just leave lib64 out of
PYTHONPATH and the 64-bit-specific code will not be found first.
(Fedora should have a lib32/python2.4/site-packages, but it depends on
path ordering to do that).



Despite the fact that this solution works, I do not think it is
"correct". No python application distributed by Fedora is split
between lib and lib64. Packages are either installed in lib or lib64.
The only time packages appare to be split between the two folders is
when both the i386 and x86_64 version is installed. From what I know,
SuSE also install x86_64 python programs only in lib64. I therefore
think the correct solution would be to install everything either in
lib64 or in lib.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] x86_64 path proposal

2006-11-22 Thread David P. Reed

Eric -

A very clean fix for the path problem on Fedora x86_64 machines is as 
follows:


in each directory in site-packages/gnuradio modify the __init__.py file 
to include the following two lines as the first lines after the comments:


import pkgutil
__path__ = pkgutil.extend_path(__path__, __name__)

and then if the pyexecdir is different from pythondir, create symbolic 
links from each directory created in pyexecdir to __init__.py in the 
corresponding directory in pythondir (you could just copy __init__.py).


What this does, for example, is put the above two lines in 
.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/__init__.py amd a symbolic 
link to that file in .../lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/gr 
(where the arch-dependent compiled files are installed).


Thus, when you do

from gnuradio import gr


the path gets changed in the __init__.py to include both directories, 
and thus gr's pieces all do imports that search both directories.


This seems to me to be clean and "correct".   It has the result that if 
you are running a 32-bit version of python, you just leave lib64 out of 
PYTHONPATH and the 64-bit-specific code will not be found first. 
(Fedora should have a lib32/python2.4/site-packages, but it depends on 
path ordering to do that).



I have tested this and it works swell.
