When will Python 2.7 be supported for SLES 11? How is that process managed?
Hi
You would need to create an Enhancement request (via bugzilla),
AFAIK it’s still using 2.6 for stability reasons…

Thanks, Malcolm.
I suspect more compatibility than stability is at play here.
We have been totally unsuccessful in installing a Python 2.7 executable on SLES 11. Any pointers would be helpful.
Hi
You would need to look at using the Open Build Service and linking
packages to devel:languages:python and building against your SLE target.

It also appears that on SLES11 SP1, the python version is python-2.6.8-0.15.1, whereas in SP2, it’s python-2.6.0-8.12.2. There are some patches to go to 2.6.8-0.13.1 in the patchfinder, but python-devel is missing and the patches are marked as “restricted”. Is this the normal behaviour? My registration seems to work, I get updates for the kernel, etc.
Hi
You need to add the SDK, this is done via downloading the SDK iso image
and adding via YaST add on products;
zypper if python-devel
Information for package python-devel:
Repository: SLE11-SDK-SP1-Updates
Name: python-devel
Version: 2.6.8-0.15.1
.....Once the iso image is added, it adds the relevant online and update
repositories.
You should also be able to add manually by checking your system mirror
credentials via your NCC.

Hi Malcolm,
thanks for the answer. Indeed I have the SDK registered and get updates (e.g. popt-devel updated from popt-devel-1.7-37.29.29.1 to 1.7-37.50.6). But python refuses to budge:
zypper update python
Refreshing service ‘nu_novell_com’.
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
‘python’ is already installed.
Package ‘python’ is not available in your repositories. Cannot reinstall, upgrade, or downgrade.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language, and is
often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java. You can find an overview
of Python in the documentation and tutorials included in the python-doc

If you want to install third party modules using distutils, you need to
install python-devel package.
Sounds like you’re missing at least a repo. What’s the output of these commands?
$ zypper lr -u
$ zypper packages | grep python
When posting the output wrap it in CODE tags for readability. (Look for the # button in the toolbar.)
Sorry about the bad code. I hope it’s better now.
