Arista and python 2.7 on Fedora

Open valentt opened this issue 14 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, after installing Arista 0.9.6 on Fedora 14 I can't start it because it installs packages in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ instead of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

Only after manually moving files to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ Arista starts.

Thank you for this great app!

Do you need to run python2.7 or something manually when doing the install? The paths are all set automatically by the interpreter, so I'm not sure why one invocation would run 2.6 while another would run 2.7...

Hi, sorry for late reply. I'm not doing anything special, just running installed under Fedora 14. I'm not python developer and have almost no knowledge how python works. I can help you troubleshoot this issue further but you need to give me detailed instructions how, or just install Fedora 14 in some virtual machine and try it out for your self.

Cheers, Valent.

Does it work when you run this in a terminal:

python2.6 /usr/bin/arista-gtk

Or something along those lines? It should force it to use Python 2.6 to run the app rather than 2.7, which seems to be your default. This may be something to file a bug with Fedora for as their packaging system should handle the python version stuff correctly!
