On RedHat 7.3, python is version 1.5.2, but they also install python2 and python2.2 which reference python version 2.2.
However, the Webware system launches python via one of the following techniques. #!/usr/bin/env python -or- #!/usr/bin/python -or as in AppServer- /usr/bin/env python All are references python without the version numbering. The options using "/usr/bin/env" are overridable by inserting a directory containing the 2.2 version of python as "python" at the beginning of your path. However, the absolute reference version is not modifiable. I see this as a problem area for a new person trying to install webware. But what is the best general solution? RedHat obviously hasn't seen fit to abandon python1.5.2, many of their configuration scripts use python. +Should Webware use "python2"? Is this standard in most python installations? +Should the install.py script (which detects an incorrect version) be updated to change the invocation commands to python2 if necessary? +Should the PATH override be the standard way to do this, and the "/usr/bin/python" references be upgraded to "/usr/bin/env python"? I need to resolve this for myself, in my use of Webware. However I would rather use, or at least be compatible with whatever the general solution to the problem is. --- Stuart Donaldson ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
