python HTTPSHeader Error
« on: August 19, 2009, 11:18:19 AM »
Coming from Window I'm creating on my Win32 host machine a vBox image containing a HowTo setup a webpage with Appengine.

First I tried my code with Ubuntu as vBox guest-system with Python 2.5.2 installed. That worked fine, as the following screenshot may show.


Then I changed to TC to get a smaller vdi image. To add Python I downloaded the python.tcel extension containing Python 2.5.2 too.

But the same code working in Ubuntu failed in TC, as the following screenshot may show.


I think mayby the TC python.tcel extension does't support ssl.

What's the best solution for my problem?

The python extension was one of the first extensions made for TC, and was compiled with minimal dependencies.  DB, Openssl, sqlite, Tk and such was not built in. 
Tthere has also been some interest in an update to Python.  That would result in the need to rebuild extensions that are dependent on it, like pycairo, pygtk, pyqt and such.  I think that the next major TC release would be the best time to update and add dependencies to python as a lot of extensions would need rebuilding at that time anyway.  Python, Openssl, as well as some other extensions that require a rebuild of their dependent apps would be due an update our next major release and it would be best to piece that together all at once at that time.

Thanks for your fast reply.

And till next TC release my only solution would be to install native Python myself - correct?

Not easy for a Linux newbie. :(

Actually running this script, after installing dependencies, will build a python.tcel.  I may rebuild the current version of python with more dependencies to provide more functionality.

If you are interested Jason, adding this line just before ./configure will enable SSL support.
Code: [Select]
sed -i -e '206,209 s/^.//' -e '206 s/\/ssl//' Modules/Setup.dist
And this would add openssl as a required dependency

Thanks. LFS lists these as python's optional dependencies to provide full functionality:  openssl, libgdbm, sqlite3, and tk.  We have all of these and they would not add that much installed size.  I will recompile with these deps.

Hi,
your script is great. After setting up a vBox-system with enough resources (430 MB RAM, 2 GB virtual HD) and learning how to do scripting and permission management in Linux it was very easy.

The extensions compiletc.tce, bash.tce and openssl-0.9.8h-devs.tce were installed quickly. (openssl-0.9.8h.tcel was already there)

I opened a (don't know if necessary: root-) terminal, typed ./<scriptname> hit Enter and the script started without any problems.

The Python source was downloaded automatically, then the building of 'my' first extension begun. A big number of message lines where output into the terminal. That lasted for about six minutes.

And the last message read: 'python-2.5.2.tcel ... is now in your home directory'.

You made me happy.

And this Python-2.5.2 ssl-patched with the above code line of KingDomcome is working, as the following screenshot may show:


Thank you very much

Jason,

please consider upgrade to Python 2.6.x when it happenes.

JoXo009 - glad it is working!

bmarkus - Updating python will be no problem, I would even do it now if those who maintain the python dependent apps would not mind a rebuild of those extensions.  But I don't want to impose such a rebuild until next major version unless it is agreeable to those it would affect.  If folks would like to see a Python upgrade and don't mind rebuilding the several python  dependent extensions, then we can do that.

That's fine, I was referring to the mentioned next major release only. 2.5.2 is fine for most of us, nothing is pushing 2.6.2

I have no problem rebuilding any of my extensions to meet an updated python, I have build.sh scripts so it should be fairly easy to do  :)

Looks like if we hear from JLS about rebuilding the pygtk stuff then it may be a deal.  The python in the repo is right at a year old and once a year python update is reasonable.  And it would be kind of good to update python independent of a TC major version upgrade as those times are challenging enough.
