[Howto] Force using python2.5 in Scratchbox
 
Hi,

Scratchbox uses the ancient python 2.3, which fails to use some modules (lacks subprocess & etc.)

The idea is to force using python2.5 instead of all calls to python in a makefile (e.g. debian/rules)

The idea is: If all calls to `python` are redirected to /scratchbox/tools/bin/python, why not to redirect /scratchbox/tools/bin/python. Let's do:

Code:
SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES=/scratchbox/tools/bin/python:/usr/bin/python2.5,$SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES ./test1.py
It works when executed in a shell. Seems to work decently with in debian/rules (though sometimes seems to have problems)

why not just

Code:
rm /scratchbox/tools/bin/python
ln -s  /usr/bin/python2.5 /scratchbox/tools/bin/python

Because it doesn't affect your scratchbox installation, can be used in the autobuilder, don't need additional instructions for building...

Shouldn't this happen automatically if you're using the appropriate SDK?

I'm using apophis, and the built-in python 2.3 is being used.

So if you install pymaemo what happens then. or do you need to change the build depends to python-2.whatever to actually use 2.whatever

Well, but pymaemo is simply python2.5 package. And it's there. And still redirected to the scratchbox version

For some reason I thought installing pymaemo also created a symlink from python to python-2.5 or set some env variable.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, seemed most suitable to discuss it here.

I'm trying to build sphinxbase-0.8 (using 0.6 debian directory as guide) as a precursor for attempting to build jasper. I've tried SBOX_REDIRECT* I use for mussorgsky. I've tried PYTHON=python2.5. I've tried forcing it as a parameter to configure script but still the stupid thing keeps using /scratchbox/devkits/python-legacy/bin/python and including python2.3.

Any other suggestions?

Edit: Solved, needed PATH as well before redirects.
