Title: python 2.7
Post by: magwm on February 22, 2011, 01:55:45 PM

hello folks!

I would like to try out eyeOS, but it needs python>=2.5 .. Is there any way I could update python without breaking every other script on SME?

ciaociao,

Michel

I you have please share your solution.

Ciao Bud,

no I didn't.

It was possibile to install python 2.7 on another path, (yum needs its python so you can't upgrade the default python) but I couldn't force Eyeos to use it all the time.

Any ideas on what we can do to Update Python to at least Ver 2.5 as I really need eyeos 2.4 (Using an Old Version) on SME 86b

Any help greatly appreciated  :)

bud, you should a NFR in bugzilla but:
- SME uses (in most cases) rpms coming from CentOS
- dev team is small
- upgrading python will likely broke many things..

my suggestion is to use Centos for eyeos and SME for auth

As I said, the problem is not installing a newer python (is supported under sme8 under other dir) but to tell eyeos to use those binaries. there are posts in their forums about this.

Do you really need eyeOS inside SME? Wouldn't it be easier/better to separate it as a VM (virtual machine), assuming you have virtualisation.
