Re: mxDateTime on Mac: Fatal Python Error

The Egenix base package builds and installs quite happily, but then when I try to import it I get import mx.DateTime Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

Make sure you build the package using the same Python interpreter you will later use it with.

Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Works fine for me on a 2004 PowerBook with 10.3.8. I'm using Python from DarwinPorts for pygtk and am using mx.DateTime with it. I don't remember if DarwinPorts had mx.DateTime or if I downloaded the source and installed it myself.

Re: what would you like to see in a 2nd edition Nutshell?

Perhaps a more resonable sugestion would be a short section on integration with native systems, e.g. an intro/overview to (non exhaustive list): psyco scipy.blitz/weave ctypes pyrex snip they all represent intreresting areas. Perhaps the section could end with some words on PyPy. Speaking as somebody who's participated in more than half of the pypy sprints and hopes for more, I think pypy needs to be mentioned much earlier, together with other alternate implementations of Python. I do agree that vast coverage is outside the scope that the Nutshell's size lets me aim for. However, mere mention appears to lead to a serious risk of the pointer being entirely missed -- e.g. despite being interested in these issues you appear to be unaware of p. 545 (1st ed). Hmmm -- maybe I need to strike some kind of balance here (so what else is new...;-). snip This discussion is making me think what would be really nice is an advanced Python book that discusses many of the topics mentioned in this message and earlier messages in the thread. I'd rather see an in-depth advanced book than light coverage of the topics added to a Nutshell book. I own at least 8 or 9 Python books now and the 3 that I keep within arms reach of the computer are Nutshell, Cookbook, and Python Essential Reference.

Re: Redirecting ./configure --prefix

I'm running Linux (Fedora 2), and just downloaded the Python 2.4 kit. I did the following from my user account: ./configure --prefix=/some/private/dir --enable-shared make make test # all was okay make install Now, when I try to run this I get the following error: python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This library is in /some/private/dir/lib, but that directory is not being searched. So, I have these questions: - Can I get Python to search /some/private/dir/lib for library files? - Will sys.path be okay? How can I make it okay? - Is there anything else I need to worry about? I think you just need to this if your shell is bash (default shell in FC2 I think) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/private/dir/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH or if you're using csh or tcsh setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /some/private/dir/lib If that works, you can put this in the appropriate dot file so you don't have to retype them each time you login/create a new shell. For bash I think it's ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile and for csh it's ~/.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc for tcsh. HTH, Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
