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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
