Missing _bssd in Python 2.4

[jalil]

I compiled and installed python 2.4 on Redhat Linux using default
options but don't seem to be getting _bsddb. I get an error message
that _bssd cannot be imported.

Does anybody know why this might happen? Do I need to do any special
customization or install any other software?

Thanks,

I actually installed BerkeleyBD4.0 and commented out some sections of
Modules/Setup that I found related to this. I got the _bsddb.o in the
build environment but I still get the same error from bsddb/__init.py__
that it cannot import _bsddb.

Anything I am missing? Where should this _bsddb go exactly? Is it an
.so file?

Thanks,

Exception from bsddb module

[jalil]

I am using Python 2.4 and get this exception when running my mod_python
application. This used to work in my older environment.

Any ideas on how I can debug this issue?

Encoding Questions

[jalil]

1. I download a page in python using urllib and now want to convert and
keep it as utf-8? I already know the original encoding of the page.
What calls should I make to convert the encoding of the page to utf8?
For example, let's say the page is encoded in gb2312 (simple chinese)
and I want to keep it in utf-8?

2. Is this a good approach? Can I keep any pages in any languages in
this way and return them when requested using utf-8 encoding?

3. Does python 2.4 support all encodings?

By the way, I have set my default encoding in Python to utf8.

I appreciate any help.

Re: Encoding Questions

[jalil]

thanks for the replies. As for why I set my default encoding to utf-8
in python, I did it a while ago and I think I did it because when I was
reading some strings from database in utf-8 it raised errors b/c there
were some chars it could recongnize in standard encoding. When I made
the change, the error didn't happen anymore.

Does it make sense?
