[Tutor] Installing python via ftp in virtual domain
I have a client who is hosting under virtual domain services that do not provide python. He has unlimited disk space available ( or so the hoster says) and they would allow installation of binaries in the virtual domain via ftp. It's a linux 'box' with a /private folder under the domain root. given that I have python 2.5 installed on my own desktop, which is also linux, could I expect to be able to install python and all libraries via FTP? If so, I'd welcome pointers, caveats and potentially issues. If it does not appear workable, I have alternatives, but the client wants me to try this initially.

I guess the issues you'd face are: - different architecture (could be 64bit?) - wrong libraries It might be easier if you can build a statically-linked version of python -- although it appears that can have issues: http://bytes.com/groups/python/23235-build-static-python-executable-linux Or upload the python sources and build it there (do they provide gcc?). -- John. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Let's say that they are using 32-bit architecture, then - wrong libraries how do we resolve paths to libraries? tim - :-) who has other alternatives. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

2009/2/3 Tim Johnson t...@johnsons-web.com: - wrong libraries how do we resolve paths to libraries? Well, like I suggested, you could try building a staticly-linked version. Then it doesn't matter. Otherwise, I'm not sure. Maybe you could figure out what libraries you need, upload them, and play around with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is really a linux question, rather than a python question, though, so this may not be the best place to ask.
