Python 3.3.1

[vinnie]

For several reasons I would like to have this package.tcz:
1) python-3.2.scm does not allow to install additional modules (when I try says it can not write to the directory where you installed python)
2) I would like to enable readline support because I find too uncomfortable the interaction with the interpreter

Having said that, I know that Jason is very busy at this time and I'm willing to make the package, but I have three problems:
1) I could call this package "python-3.3.1.tcz" or any other name would be recommended?
2) I need tcl/tk update, I can do it myself if it is necessary, however, the good practice says that I should ask if I can to the maintainer which is always jason. What should I do?
3) During python compilation i have problem with dbm and i do not know how to solve it:

Code: [Select]

Failed to build these modules:
_dbmwould you have any advice? otherwise I might ignore it (some tell me that it is not essential)

Thanks

I created the new tcl/tk scripts and also the new packages.
I am ready to send them but I expect a response from the maintainer

Hi vinnie
I think all of these questions would best be answered by Jason W. Send him a PM with a link to this thread.

While it is up to Jason, few comments:

Python main versions and libraries are organized according to first two 2 numbers. For example 2.7 in case of 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 In your case proper name would be python-3.3.tcz

You told nothing about to which version you want to update. Please check wether it is breaking existing pacakages or not.

@rich: I have sent a pm to jason immediately after writing this post with the link.
I made ​​a post instead of only pm because so I could have more opinions, (_dbm is still unsolved problem)



@bmarkus: Ok, I will check, but it should not happen because the python developers have predicted this eventuality by implementing the make argument "altinstall".
The name you proposed seems appropriate

Vinnie, please feel free to create a python-3.3 extension, also update tcl/tk if you wish and take over maintainership if you would like to.  The best name as mentioned would be python-3.3.tcz. 

Thanks!

[vinnie]

Thank you Jason, I have already sent the package tcl-tk.
Python 3.3.1 will take a little more, but I start to work

[vinnie]

I have realized that in the new package executables have the suffix 8.6:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ find /usr/local/ -iname "*8.6*"
/usr/local/lib/tk8.6
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.6.so
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6
/usr/local/lib/tcl8/8.6
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.6.so
/usr/local/bin/wish8.6
/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.6

I do not remember if they had this prefix before and now I do not remember one programs that use tk as dependency
if you think I should create simlink or rename the executable in /usr/local/bin directory, tell me and I correct the package

Yes, please add a tclsh symlink. LFS does it too:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/tcl.html

The other binaries/libs/dirs don't need symlinks.

Hi vinnie

... and now I do not remember one programs that use tk as dependency

Here is a list of extensions that depend on tk.tcz if you still need it.

[vinnie]

ok, tcl-tk updated with symlinks and python3 Submitted
