....2.2-7 or newer RPMs on this page, distutils should work. Note that this seems to be fixed in the Red Hat 9 release (which uses Python 2.2.2 and has a patched distutils). Q. When trying to build RPMs, I get "rpmbuild: command not found". A. The "rpmbuild" command is part of a separate RPM named "rpm-build". You will need to install this package before you can build RPMs. Q. Is it safe to install these RPMs on a Red Hat system? Will they over-write the system pytho...

....2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level. Two of them should not be problems for most users using Python 2.2 or later. It does have a number of important enhancements, but these are not a compatiblity issue. Probably the biggest issues for its acceptance are: A incomp...
....2.3-sunos5.tar.gz or mydist-1.2.3-win32.zip. However, there's a lot of interest in "smart" installers like Red Hat's RPM (and I got the impression that there are a couple of competing possibilities for the Windows world -- someone from the dark side will have to fill me in on that). My current thinking is that there should be a separate command (or Makefile target) for each of these, so you might run make rpm on a Red Hat Linux box, and ...
....2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particularly nasty backward compatibility problems. In Python versions 1.5 and later, the standard exceptions are ...
