New submission from Mark Tischler: I downloaded pywin32 build 220 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/, and tried to install it using 'python3 setup.py install' as well as 'python3 pywin32_postinstall.py -install' ("python3" = python 3.6.0), and the former gave me a syntax error about 'print' needing parentheses, and the latter gave me a syntax error about an 'except' statement having a syntax error, both of which tell me that this pywin32 package is not compatible with Python 3. So, I went searching and found https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32. This is the same build number -- 220. Given that it is a full year newer than the other (it's odd that its build number is the same), I thought that this might have changes in it to support Python3. However, given that I'm installing on a Linux platform, I don't think I can deal with wheel files. These downloadable files appear to be for Windows installations only.
I'm attempting to have an app, which is installed on a RedHat Linux machine, use SQL Server as its database, so my understanding is that I need the django-mssql package (I have version 1.8 ready to go) and that is dependent upon pywin32. So, I'm wondering if there is a version of pywin32 that is compatible with Python 3.6.0 and that is installable on Red Hat Linux. I am not using 'pip' to install packages, because my installation is not in the normal system area. I have a library of multiple Python installations, so that the various apps installed on that machine can be pointed to one of several different versions of Python. Note, I am somewhat new to Python and Python installations. Any help would be appreciated. ---------- components: Installation messages: 286836 nosy: mtischler priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Using pywin32 on Python3 on linux type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29426> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
