Hi,

I found a description of the workarround already described upper that
enables beginner as I am to make the needed changes to let OpenERP work
with Python 2.5:

Troubles with Python releases: Python 2.6 is not yet supported by
OpenERP 5.0, but it is the default Python release on Ubuntu 9.0.4. We
need to launch OpenERP 5.0 with Python 2.5 or earlier. There’s also a
problem with python-xml package in Ubuntu so we will reinstall it.

Python 2.5 setting up:

    $ sudo apt-get install python2.5 python2.5-dev python-profiler

Reinstall python-xml:

    $ wget
http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.4.tar.gz

    $ tar xvzf PyXML-0.8.4.tar.gz

    $ cd PyXML-0.8.4/

    $ sudo python2.5 setup.py install

Make the following symbolic link:

    $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/oldxml/_xmlplus/utils/boolean.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/oldxml/_xmlplus/utils/

Force openerp-server to be launched with Python2.5:

    $ cd /usr/bin/

    $ sudo cp openerp-server openerp-server.ORIG

    $ sudo vi openerp-server

Replace the following line:

    exec /usr/bin/python ./openerp-server.py $@

with

    exec /usr/bin/python2.5 ./openerp-server.py $@

We can now restart openerp-server:

    $ sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart

    Restarting openerp-server: openerp-server.

I now have problems with installation of the data base... I'll take a
look to other Bugs :)

Hope that helps someone

openerp-server depends on python-xml and is therefore uninstallable ATM
