Hello,

I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or this is an intended feature. Before installing pythonbrew, I alread installed python 2.6.5 and 3.1.2 in my box. I thought pythonbrew would automatically detect them, but when I try to run pythonbrew venv create proj, I got a message saying i need to install pythons first. Running pythonbrew list yields /usr/bin/python, though.

How do get it to detect my already installed python?

Thanks in advance!

venv uses virtualenvrapper but it's not specified in documentation.

Assume something like the following:

$ pybrew install 2.6.6 -j 4

I interrupted an installation, and now I get this error:

% pythonbrew install --force 2.5.5           
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ca/.pythonbrew/scripts/pythonbrew_main.py", line 3, in <module>

    return c.readheader(url)
  File "/Users/ca/.pythonbrew/scripts/pythonbrew/curl.py", line 25, in readheader
    raise
TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not NoneType

because of this while the python is reset back to system python the virtualenv isn't deactivated and hence the confusion that one is still using the pythonbrew python with the virtualenv.

I'm wondering if there is --distribute option that to install distribute insted of setuptools for install command.

The option would be used like this.
pythonbrew install --distribute 2.7.2

Hi,
this is not a bug, but a whish...

It would be great to be able to do:
pybrew install -f file:///home/me/tmp/already_downloaded_source.tgz
or even better:
pybrew install -f /home/me/tmp/already_downloaded_source.tgz

Regards.

When running pythonbrew install 2.7.2, there are a lot of tests which seem to consume a large part of the time it takes to compile Python. Are they essential part of the build process? Could Pythonbrew provide an option to skip them?

Steps to reproduce:

% pythonbrew list
# installed pythons
Python-2.6.6
Python-2.7.1
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python (*)

% pythonbrew install --force 2.7.1
You are already installed `Python-2.7.1`

I am probably misunderstanding the purpose of "--force" (i.e. force installation even if make test fails) but it would be nice if someone could "reinstall" a given version of python with e.g. new configure options easily.

I tried doing:

import bsddb

on pythonb 2.7.2 installed with pythonbrew and got the error:

ImportError: No module named _bsddb

to fix this I had to install the package libdb4.8-dev and reinstall python 2.7.2. I wonder if pythonbrew should somehow check for this dependency or at least document this.

Just wondering if Pythonbrew was working to be able to support Pypy and Jython as known Pythons.

Great work thanks.

Ubuntu Natty introduces new directories for libraries and headers to support multiple architectures, Python's setup.py does not add the right paths, so some extensions won't build. See :

http://bugs.python.org/issue9762
http://bugs.python.org/issue11715

Python 2.6 and more will be patched, but Python 2.5 is closed to new patch.

This patch works for Python 2.6 and 2.7 (need a small tweak for 2.5): http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-rev/bd0f73a9538e

I would like to be able to use arguments for the buildout command. For example, currently I'm doing:
buildout -c dev.cfg
to run buildout in a dev environment.

My suggestion (IMHO) would be to do something like:
pythonbrew buildout --args -c dev.cfg

Thanks, and great project BTW!

update:
Forgot to add the workaround in case someone else runs into this:
wget "http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/zc.buildout/trunk/bootstrap/bootstrap.py"

pythonbrew switch 2.7.2 # or which ever version you are using python ./bootstrap.py -d -c dev.cfg
or in one command...
pythonbrew py ./bootstrap.py -d -c dev.cfg

Now you can use ./bin/buildout

Hi,
symbolic link for Python is very useful ("py2.5.5" instead of "pybrew use 2.5.5 && python"), a similar thing for pip would be welcome.

I think that the problem is in the patch because the manual installation works

Along with issue #15 which appears to be because the user is using a C-shell, I don't install bash on any of my systems; however, I do a lot of python work including some packages and eggs used by people on other OSes and python versions. Due to these needs, I am very interested in this project, but I refuse to install bash just to try it out.

Please consider implementing pure shell (sh) scripting which is supported on all OSes I am familiar with (aside from Windows, but then there's always cygwin).

I have tried building python 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 on a clean install of OS X Lion with Xcode 4.1 to no avail. It fails everytime. I have built ruby and perl via RVM and perlbrew fine, so the basic system in sane. This system is a brand new, and had a clean copy of Snow Leopard on it that was upgraded to Lion.

I noticed this blog about issues that were discovered and fixed in perlbrew for Lion. Maybe it is related?

http://www.perlbrew.pl/FixLion.html

I also have the build.log should it be useful.

Is there in pythonbrew anything similar to RVM's gemset?

I tried pythonbrew install 2.5.5 but it failed: test_threading was hanging (I guess it's issue 4188: http://bugs.python.org/issue4188)

In the documentation you give this example for installing 2.5.5: pythonbrew install --force 2.5.5, I guess it is to take care of this issue.

Maybe it would be useful to precise it in the documentation.

Will there be support for venv auto-switching (just like what RVM does) ?

In RVM it works like this: if there is .rvmrc inside current directory, RVM will switch Ruby environment based on the content of the .rvmrc.

It would be helpful if the documentation made explicit exactly what "pythonbrew switch ..." does. Presumably it modifies the path so only the selected python and its installed-scripts are in the path. Does it also change the PythonPath? How about the current framework version on MacOS X (e.g. /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current or /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current)?

Thank you for clarifying.

calling pythonbrew venv use smug once everything is cool
calling pythonbrew venv use timer a second time raises error in fact you can't call and venv command inside a virtualenv.

ERROR: Can not use venv command before switching a python. Try 'pythonbrew switch '.

Is this a limitation of brew or virtualenv?

I'm seeing test_socket fail when installing Python 2.6.6 on Snow Leopard:

test test_socket failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/gferguson/python/pythonbrew/build/Python-2.6.6/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 483, in testSockName
    my_ip_addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I triangulated the problem using Ruby and got the same message so I think it's something in our network or this machine's configuration being unable to resolve the hostname "S1WSMA-JHAMI". I tried to resolve google.com, and it was successfully done using the system Python, so I'm pretty sure that test_socket's failure is a false-positive.

How can I tell pythonbrew to ignore the test's results and continue on?

Also, I'm seeing the following tests skipped. I'm not sure which, if any, I should be worried about. Got some insight?

33 tests skipped:
    test_al test_bsddb test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn

Available Python versions are in define.py. Adding versions means new pythonbrew release. It could be interesting to read external file (like ~/.pythonbrew) to read available versions.

Trying to install any of the pythons on ubuntu ( running on an amazon aws with canonical ubuntu images ) fails

or rather, gets stuck as mentioned below

Symlink command is useful, but it's bit odd for a specific use case: when you want only one instance of an application, like Hg or Landslide: you don't want Hg for all your installed pythons, just in your default python. Of course you can install hg in your system Python but the goal behind my usage of pythonbrew is to use only pythons in my home.

So, an option like --default or -d would be welcome :

pybrew symlink -b --d 2.7.1 hg

I guess that to uninstall pythonbrew, we just have to do:

rm -Rf ~/.pythonbrew

and remove the source /Users/username/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc line in .bashrc?

If so, I will add it to the wiki for future reference.

When running a script using py which takes an argument that contains a space, I get an error. I submitted the issue on Stack Overflow, and a helpful user looked through the source code, identified the problem and provided a possible fix.

After installing pythonbrew systemwide as root, file permissions are not managed well. The venv command specifically seems to require write access to the venv.run file in the path specified for PATH_ETC ( or more simply: PATH_ETC_VENV).

It looks like all the venv commands need to set and manage some environment variables in this file. This is probably a good thing that pythonbrew manages this... as it seeks to be analogous to RVM (in the Ruby world) in that it's a build system for python versions and an 'environment controller'' for virtualenv's. It's also a good thing that you're using virtualenv, because it is currently the de-facto environment isolation solution for Python that provides similar functionality to RVM's gemsets. I can see that when installing pythonbrew + virtualenv to one's home directory... write access to the venv.run file is not a problem.

However, when considering a systemwide multi-user system, perhaps designing a better scheme of managing these environment variables for multiple users would be warranted. I've been successful in setting up an RVM install for multiple users, with each user owning their own gemset's directory. This way, each 'tenant' user can only install gems into their own gemset, but not create or delete gemsets owned by other users.

Steps to Reproduce

• Set PYTHONBREW_ROOT to some systemwide path... for example:
  • export PYTHONBREW_ROOT="/opt/pythonbrew" OR
  • export PYTHONBREW_ROOT="/usr/local/pythonbrew"
• Install pythonbrew as root ( or perhaps a pythonbrew system-level user ) with the usual install instructions
• Install one (or more) Python versions with:
  • pythonbrew install --force ${PYTHON_VERSION}
• Use a python version with:
  • pythonbrew switch ${PYTHON_VERSION}
• Install virtualenv and virtualenv wrapper with:
  • pip install virtualenv virtualenvwraper
• Create a virtualenv for a user with:
  • pythonbrew venv create ${my_username}
  • Recursively change ownership of all virtualenv folders for this user:
  • find ${PYTHONBREW_ROOT}/venvs/ -type d -iname "${my_username}" -print0 | xargs -I{} -0 chown -R --preserve-root --no-dereference ${my_username}:pythonbrew '{}'
• Try using or listing the virtualenv as this user:
  • su --login ${my_username}
  • pythonbrew switch ${PYTHON_VERSION}
  • pythonbrew venv use ${my_username} OR
  • pythonbrew venv list

Misleading Error Returned

Even if the venv directory for any user is owned by them, pythonbrew exits with a misleading error:

$ pythonbrew venv use build_pythonbrew
ERROR: `use` command not found.
$ pythonbrew venv list
ERROR: `list` command not found.

This is because a generic try / except block catches the permission denied exception. Currently, any exception here will return a command not found error. By using pdb (see this gist), I was able to figure out what was going on:

build_pythonbrew@lucid64:~$ pythonbrew venv list

RVM has this for server usage. It allows Ruby versions to be installed in /usr/local/rvm and be manageable by users in the rvm user group.

Pythonbrew should do the same with /usr/local/pythonbrew.

Any plans to support Windows? Looking at the installation instructions and glancing at the code it doesn't look like windows is supported. Are there any plans to support windows?

It is not that easy to do manually...

venv is a nice feature, but it's hard to remember the path to the new Python binary. It could be great to add alias with a command like this one:
$pybrew symlink -v venv-name python

And I get a py-venv-name (ex: py-bb101 if my venv name is bb101).

Maybe add the python version (py-2.5-bb101).

Hi,

I am trying the following command:

[python-deploy@localhost mod_python-3.2.10]$ pythonbrew install --configure="--enable-shared" 2.7.2

But it doesn't seem to work. The very last line in build.log shows:

/home/python-deploy/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.2/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only error that the output shows is:

ERROR: Failed to install setuptools. See /home/python-deploy/.pythonbrew/build.log to see why.
Skip installation of setuptools.

Why does the pythonbrew-install script refuses python 2.7?

I try to install 'pythonbrew install 2.6.6' in Mac OS X, but this does not work fine.
Below is my error. pythonbrew does not support Mac OS X?
https://gist.github.com/949448

I will implement --as option. it work like this:

$ pybrew install 2.6.6 --as=foo
$ pybrew switch foo

$ pybrew install 2.6.6 --as=bar -C "--with-readline"
$ pybrew switch bar

The arch flag (with-universal-archs) should be 64-bit, 32-bit or all when building at least Python 2.6 (haven't checked the other versions) on OS X. It can probably be removed entirely since the configure script should detect that on it's own and macs only ship with 64-bit nowadays anyway.

Also i can't find any reason to include the enable-universalsdk either. That seems so only be used for building universal (both ppc and intel) binaries and i don't see any reason so continue to support ppc when even apple doesn't do that?

The two machines I tested on are on totally different networks, so it's probably not some sort of weird network issue with my stuff.

So far the following Pythons have failed to install on my 64-bit Snow Leopard install:

• Python-2.4.6
• Python-2.5.5
• Python-3.2

Each failed for tests failing to pass, although the test(s) in question varied with the version. For Python-3.2 it was a multiprocessing test, for Python-2.4.6 it was test_socket and for Python-2.5.5 it was various os-specific tests.

When you type pybrew, her said:
error: You must give a command (use "pythonbrew help" to see a list of commands)

Display help message is more useful I think.

A good pratice is to add the changlog is the long description, thus it's visible in the project page on the PyPI.

Hi.

I Installed version 0.6.6.

I execute

$ pythonbrew off

but command result:

I'm always lost with the use and switch commands. Thus I use "pybrew py -p 2.5.5 ". A simpler solution is to create automatically (or with a command) an symlink, like "/bin/py2.5" to link to "/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.5.5/bin/python".

Whenever I run the following it errors out.

I checked the logs and it just has:

/bin/sh: patch: command not found

I was able to install 2.7.2 without issue, and this was on a clean system so I didn't realize I needed patch. After doing

yum install patch

everything went smoothly. It might not be a bad idea to tell your Redhat/Fedora/CentOS users that they need patch installed first. I'm bringing up this issue purely so others can find it via the web and get it resolved.

Hi,
Python 3.2 is now released. Could you add this release on the list?

Thanks.
