Stackless Python
Fedora 7 Notes
svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/stackless/tags/python-2.51 \ stackless-python-2.51 cd stackless-python-2.51 ./configure && make ./python sudo make install
Notes:
- Line 1: This is a Subversion checkout command. Note that the '\' is a line continuation. See Bash.
- Line 3: This is a typical build. Note that '&&' is logical 'and' which short-circuits. See Bash and Logical Operators.
- Line 4: You should always test before installing. I test that readline is working. See Software Best Practices.
- Line 5: 'sudo' may not work. See sudo for more information.
Stackless now lives in /usr/local/bin/python.
If you don't want to get confused between stackless and regular python, you may want to rename /usr/local/bin/python, or provide a symlink.
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/stackless-python
Now you need easy-install. Be sure to call easy-install with your new stackless python.
