Hello.

We are sorry but we cannot help you. This mailing list is to work on developing Python (adding new features to Python itself and fixing bugs); if you're having problems learning, understanding or using Python, please find another forum. Probably python-list/comp.lang.python mailing list/news group is the best place; there are Python developers who participate in it; you may get a faster, and probably more complete, answer there. See http://www.python.org/community/ for other lists/news groups/fora. Thank you for understanding.

hi, everyone: I want to compile python 3.3 with bz2 support on RedHat 5.5 but fail to do that. Here is how I do it: 1??download bzip2 and compile it(make??make -f Makefilelibbz2so??make install) 2??chang to python 3.3 source directory : ./configure --with-bz2=/usr/local/include 3??make 4??make install

after installation complete, I test it?? [root at localhost Python-3.3.0]# python3 -c "import bz2" Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/bz2.py", line 21, in from bz2 import BZ2Compressor, BZ2Decompressor ImportError: No module named 'bz2'

You have to install bz2 development files (headers and libraries) before recompiling python.

By the way, RedHat 5.5 has a built-in python 2.4.3. Would it be a problem?

Depends on what are you going to do.

Oleg.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
