goodvevil Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Do any of the servers have Python installed? A friend of mine has written a Python program that I'd like to host on my site. Thanks in advance for any information. :Nerd: Quote
goodvevil Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 Hmmm... what are the chances of getting the new Python 2.4 installed on server78? 1.52 is from 1999... Quote
TCH-Rob Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I might be wrong, I noticed that it was posted in a thread from last year. I would check with our helpdesk. I will continue to search in the mean time. Quote
goodvevil Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 Alrighty. If you haven't found anything by morning, I'll contact the help desk then. Thanks! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Looks like 2.2.2 but I do not know how far we support it. I would open a ticket just to make sure you can use it. I will look into it a bit more as well. Quote
MikeJ Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Python is version 2.2.2 and is fully supported (and available for use). The mailing list package we provide (Mailman) is written in python, among other things. Feel free to use python. Quote
arvind Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 wow for some strange reason I was always under the impression TCH didn't have Python installed...is this something new as I thought we'd need command line to use it. Any suggestions on how to use TCH's python ? Quote
MikeJ Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Well Python isn't a web server module like PHP, so you would have to run python scripts as cgi's if you wanted to use them for your website. The location of the python binary is "/usr/bin/python". Quote
arvind Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I managed to call it through cron using "python ....." I could swear the past two times I asked, I was told no it wasn't installed. Is this recent ? Quote
MikeJ Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I could swear the past two times I asked, I was told no it wasn't installed. Is this recent ? No, it's always been installed, just rarely asked for, so the person(s) who responded before probably thought it wasn't. Quote
borfast Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Arvind, as far as I know, it has always been installed, because it gets installed along with cpanel - cpanel itself needs it for mailman (the mailing list manager) which, as Mike said, is written in python Quote
