how can i install python 3 and idle in fedora 12? yum search for any plausible variation on python3 (python-3, Python-3.1, etc.) that i could think of yields nothing, same in add/remove software. so i got the tarball from python.org and followed book instructions on it (summerfield's python 3, p. 4), namely unpack it, run './configure', run 'make' and finally run 'make install'
in my add/remove programs window, for idle, it says i have the one for python 2.6 installed, but i can't find where to open the program. but i'd like to use 3.1.2 python anyway. additional note: if i type python -V i get Python 2.6.x (can't remember the last digit, i think it's 2), and if i type python3 -V i get Python 3.1.2. so, how do i get python 3 installed and idle for python 3 running?
I used the Windows form of Python's IDLE for a long time and now that i have fedora, I only can get into the command line interactive. I have TKinter and a bunch of packages for it, so I don't think thats the problem, I just cant get into idle.
I have IDLE installed with the Python-tools package, but when I run IDLE in command line, it runs python 2.6...I have python 3 installed, I'm just wondering how to tell IDLE to run Python 3. The reason I ask is because, if I go through IDLE, file>Path Browser, I see a lot of Python 2.6 files...but no Python 3 files. When i run yum install Python3 -
[root@Homecomp Legio]# yum install python3 Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package python3-3.1.2-7.fc13.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
When I look for Python 3, I find it in /usr/bin/Python3, an executable file, along with 3.1, 2.6 and a link to executable 2. I have no files in /usr/local/bin. My question is...How do I tell IDLE to run Python 3 instead of 2? I just started using Fedora, so I don't have all the commands down yet. Have to say its a bit different than Windows...but in a good way so far.
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
I can't install Python 2.6 on Fedora 15 - I have only Python 2.7. Also I can't add EPEL repository to try to install: yum install python26 I didn't find any info about how can I solve this problem.
I get an error when trying to install python-virtualenv package:
Quote: # yum install python-virtualenv Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check
[Code]...
AFAIK, python-virtualenv package does not really require any development packages (at least in ubuntu, debian, opensuse). Is it a bug? I didn't find anything with search engines...
i wanted to install screenlets under fedora 11 but python wont let me, is there a way to do it i keep getting the Python(abi) dependency missing message I've tryed both 32 and the 64 bits version, even the noarch i found here with no results at all
I was trying to install MySQLbd (a module for python to connect and access MySQL) I followed these steps for installation[URL].. but while I am getting some installation errors. When I try to run $ python set.py build I am getting the following errors (I removed few errors as I can post more than 10000 characters here)
I've got fedora11 installed. ssh works fine until, I log off and left the PC idle overnight and in the morning when I try to ssh to it I can't get to it. But if I let someone login locally then I ssh to the box ssh would work again. where I can disable the sleep on the network card or something....
Fedora 12 officially uses Python 2.6, good. But the Google AppEngine still goes by Python 2.5 and is showing import errors while i try to start the SDK. Here is the stack trace.
how to remove the login prompt during the idle time. or just prolong it for about hours and hours so that this prompt wont appear each time i'm away. i still monitor the computer just 4 meters away and i have to get up becasue of this prompt.
I recently upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 14 on my Dell Latitude E6400 notebook PC. It's a Dual core processor, as seen in the uname provided below:
uname -a: Linux COMPUTERNAME 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:34:36 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux redhat-release: Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)
Since the upgrade, I've noticed some unexplainable behavior: The load average is consistently 0.5 - 1.75 when my PC is completely idle (99% according to top). No processes are in the D (I/O) state, and I have no Zombie processes. This happens on a fresh boot, every time. It gets worse and less worse, and bounces from unusable (cursor stops moving as I type in the terminal, to actually losing keystrokes at times). I'm wondering if anybody else is experiencing similar issues, or knows of a (the) kernel bug which is causing this behavior? Actively researching the issue. I've come across the following: Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled
i have fedora 8 on my machine...i want to uninstall it..i restarted my machine with windows CD on it....but shortly after pressing key to continue configuring the installation, screen goes blank and computer becomes idle....i tried using about 10-15 different CDs of windows OS but failed every time...what could be the reason and how can i fix this......NOTE: but if i try to reinstall fedora the problem dosen't occur.
I have XFX ATI-HD5670 and use proprietary catalyst 11.2-1 in 64-bit Fedora 14.
I am not sure when this started, or if it ever did work before, but when I started noticing that the screensaver will not turn off the monitor, I set the gnome power manager to make the monitor sleep after an hour.
Now, the display will not turn back on after it has been in sleep mode. I know the system is still running fine as I can ssh from another PC and see that everything seems to be normal, no error message in dmesg, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, etc.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that monitor DPMS is not detected but still enables DPMS:
Is this a problem with catalyst driver? I know it's not the PC or the monitor, because I have a 2nd PC with the same video driver with the same problem, but others without this driver don't (ati open source, nvidia, etc. all work fine.)
I'm wondering if the problem always existed before, but I just didn't notice it because the display sleep mode was never set? If that's the case, my hunch is that it looked like it worked because the monitor was smart enough to turn itself off when the screensaver kicked in and just showed a blank screen, and the video driver was never involved with sleep mode until I set it in gnome power manager, at which point it started showing this problem of not waking up? And because the screensaver was no longer set to blank the screen, but to show some animation, that's why the monitor will never sleep anymore?
F12 64 bit machine, connects to a Windows share to which a HP PSC 1210 is connected through a USB connection. Printer is set to share, nicknamed "Asterix". When the printer is set up through F12, I select under Network printer "Windows printer via Samba". I browse, find the printer, and click verify. The printer is accessible. Then I finish the installation, ordering a test print. Here the strange things start happening (attached some screenshots to back the story up).
1) No error messages appear that I can find. No cups-errors, no other errors pop up on the F12 machine. The print appears and disappears from the "Document Print Status (Asterix)" window. Only on the Printer Properties page do I see something strange: Printer state: Idle - procession page 2. 2) In the Windows machine, I also can't find any error messages. The print appears in the Printer list, and stays there. The printer comes to life, checks its cartridges, rolls some wheels, and then decides to do nothing more. When I select the print and click on Properties, the default priority is 1, but when I move it up to 99, nothing changes. The only strange thing here is, that the document, according to the Windoze machine, has 0 pages, yet is some 20MB. And nothing ever happens.
Things I think it's not: Firewall issue. The print obviously slips through to the other end. Faulty driver issue. Directly from the Windoze machine, and if plugged into the USB of the F12 machine, does it print perfectly fine.
I just read through the Lifehacker article on how to create a Linux boot from USB and thought it would be a good idea for when I want to use a light system on my netbook. Anyways, I encountered some problems when trying to boot the first time on my netbook. I got an error before it was loading up "Error: idle with IF=0" but everything ended up booting normal; however, I couldn't find my wireless connection.
Well, then I decided to boot up my other laptop with it and then was going to install the OS to my external hard drive; however, it never did find any storage devices (after I let it sit and load for about 10 minutes).My last question/issue is wondering if I can install it to my main hard drive and boot either WIndows XP/7 or Fedora instead of just one or the other. FYI, I was running the boot from a 4gb USB drive.
I'm fairly new to fedora. I used Fedora 14 on a virtual machine just to mess around with it a little while back but thats about it. As far as linux goes, I just test a bunch but can never seem to pull myself away from windows. I am hoping this is the time but these issues are the weirdest I've seen on any linux distro ever. My GPU (Radeon 5750) is running at 69C idle and the fan is at full speed. I am not overclocking it at all and I'm using the default drivers that came with fedora. It works just fine in windows and a lot cooler. How can I fix this?
I'm running the Gnome 3 desktop version, which I am also getting some graphics artifacts. In the bottom bar I get a dashed white line that comes up every time I boot and goes away when I make the bar expand. Also in the applications window I get the same dashed line at the top of the window and sometimes the top of the scroll bar. So far I really like Gnome 3 (Idk why everyone is whining about it) and I'd like to stick with Fedora, and linux for that matter
