510051 - [AMO] Need python-mysql installed on khan/preview/production for python26

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

We've got python 2.6 installed beside 2.4 on khan, preview.amo and AMO.  We need the mysql-python library installed as well so it works with 2.6.

clouserw@khan:~$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 16 2009, 06:21:14) 
>>> import MySQLdb as mysql
>>> 

clouserw@khan:~$ python26
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Jun  1 2009, 20:55:03) 
>>> import MySQLdb as mysql
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/MySQLdb/times.py", line 9, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/datetimemodule.so: undefined symbol: _PyTime_DoubleToTimet

We have code ready to review that needs this which we are hoping to get in before the freeze next Thursday.  How does that timeline work for you?

Wil,

We've (IT) been looking at a way to install python from source to prevent these issues and I think we've gotten to a point where we can possibly do that.

I should get this up and running before the weekend or latest by Monday (your Sunday).

[root@khan ~]# cd /data/i686/Python-2.6.2/bin/
[root@khan bin]# ./python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 14 2009, 03:49:58)

So your shiny new Python-2.6.2 install resides in /data/i686/Python-2.6.2/

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Thanks Shyam.  Can you replace the existing one or symlink or something?  By default on log in:

clouserw@khan:~$ which python26
/usr/bin/python26

Comment 5

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

Can you also create a definition in puppet that will auto deploy python2.6 + packages?

Comment 6

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Python is working as requested, just reopening for comment 4 and comment 5 so it doesn't get lost.  Thanks.

Wil,

I've removed the old packages and symlinked /usr/bin/python2.6 -> /data/whatevertherightpathis/python.

Jeremy, we aren't pushing this out in any considerable numbers or even to prod yet, but yes, when we do that, I'll have the changes in puppet.
