Problems installing python 3.5.1
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I am trying to use pew to create a python 3.5.1 (the newest supported version according to pew list_pythons) virtual environment, but ran into problems.
I am on a HP compute server with OpenSUSE 3.16.7-53-desktop, with python3.4 installed.
The steps are:
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
pip3 install pew --user
pew install 3.5.1
pew new --python=$(pythonz locate 3.5.1) test
This produces the error:
Running virtualenv with interpreter /Home/guests/nolte/.pythonz/pythons/CPython-3.5.1/bin/python3
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:<exec_prefix>]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Home/guests/nolte/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 16, in
import base64
File "/Home/guests/nolte/.pythonz/pythons/CPython-3.5.1/lib/python3.5/base64.py", line 10, in

File "/Home/guests/nolte/.pythonz/pythons/CPython-3.5.1/lib/python3.5/struct.py", line 13, in
from _struct import *
ImportError: No module named '_struct'
Error while trying to remove the /Home/guests/nolte/.local/share/virtualenvs/test env:
No such file or directory
Something (setting $PYTHONHOME?) seems to have gone wrong with the installation of python 3.5.1.
Any comments? Thanks in advance!
Oh :/
Sorry, not much time to properly look into into this issue, but a small note
python 3.5.1 (the newest supported version according to pew list_pythons)
The latest version of Python3.5 is 3.5.4:
> pew install 3.5.2
WARNING: Unsupported Python version: `3.5.2`, trying with the following URL anyway: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/Python-3.5.2.tgz
Downloading Python-3.5.2.tgz as /home/dario/.pythonz/dists/Python-3.5.2.tgz
The listed versions are updated manually, to be able to add the checksums. That would be done in the pythonz project, but unfortunately upstream decided to reject my patches to make it available as a library, and release it on pypi :/
Even without the checksums it's still possible to install a version (it'll just display the WARNING that I reproduced above)
Unfortunately, after pythonz rejected those patched, I haven't found a satisfying solution :/
