Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'm planning to tackle the python library directory move from<br>
/opt/csw/lib/python to /opt/csw/lib/python2.6 in order to remove some<br>
of the hurdles that modules may experience when working within the CSW<br>
environment. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not really clear on what the issue is. (?) Is it that some modules/tools expect the python2.6 directory but it's not there?</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
This will require rebuilding any package that delivers<br>
files into /opt/csw/lib/python. (Project page on the wiki is<br>
forthcoming.) In order to not hurt users of the package, I think that<br>
site.py will need to include /opt/csw/lib/python{,/site-packages} too.<br>
This could remove the need for a world rebuild but I'd rather that<br>
things we control don't depend on this hack.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This sounds fine to me. I'll keep an eye out for a email letting us know it's time to rebuild the modules. </div><div><br></div>

Some of our packages deliver files to the proper location already. I<br>
haven't looked at why this is yet but my suspicion is that it's due to<br>
them simply expecting the standard location rather than querying<br>
python to ask for it...these may or may not need to be re-rolled.<br>
Hopefully not.<br>
<br>
I'm willing to put in a pile of effort on this but once I have the<br>
base python packages re-rolled, I'd love it if you re-rolled any<br>
python modules you look after.<br>
<br>
I know that Maciej is already looking at python 3.x as the way forward<br>
and that's definitely the right choice for the long term...I'm hoping<br>
that this 2.x series fix will be a worthwhile effort for the short to<br>
medium term.<br>
<br>
Comments or feedback?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
