OK, and my reading is that the /usr/local stuff should come after the system stuff, and only be searched if the system doesn't come up with the goods. But see: http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/python_comments.html It does look like it's all my easy_install packages that are the problem, and maybe I

ok, and quite clearly my path has all the /usr/local stuff in it first: >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/simplejson-1.4-py2.5.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Amara-1.1.9-py2.5.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/flup-0.5-py2.5.

Agreed, I don't think this is kde/kubuntu specific, I thought it was, but I've got a bit further ... The bottom line is that an import statement from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError, ParserCreate is giving an ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/parsers/pyexpat.so: u

OK. Fair enough. I thought you had upgraded direct to Feisty. There were a lot of Python changes Dapper --> Edgy --> Feisty to support the new Python policy. If you fire up Python with usr/local mounted and do: import sys print sys.path What do you get? I'm not sure about the right package f

Scott: 1) I didn't do an *upgrade*, I did an *install*. However, after the install, I mounted my old /usr/local, and things started going wrong. 2) I think it is a *bug* in ubuntu if the system python is looking into the site-packages of another python which lives in /usr/local. Their library pat

2007-05-08 Thread Scott Kitterman
First, upgrades from Dapper direct to Feisty are not supported. Second, if you installed your own Python 2.5 outside the packaging system there are now two installed, also not a configuration we can support. So this is not an Ubuntu bug (thus marked rejected). I believe your analysis is correct

- sorry about the bug spam. But to clarify yet again: until last week I was running dapper ubuntu, with this configuration, and it was fine (my own python 2.5 in /usr/local). - on Friday, I installed feisty kubuntu, and mounted my old /usr/local, and the system python is now broken ... -- kde

Just to clarify: provided I don't mount /usr/local, things work fine. However, even with a vanilla kde user (i.e. not "me"), things are broken with the /usr/local/ code in place - so it's not my personal configuration. Actually, I now know that all /usr/bin/python applications are broken with /
