hi, everyone: I want to compile python 3.3 with bz2 support on RedHat 5.5 but fail to do that. Here is how I do it: 1、download bzip2 and compile it(make、make -f Makefile_libbz2_so、make install) 2、chang to python 3.3 source directory : ./configure --with-bz2=/usr/local/include 3、make 4、make install after installation complete, I test it: [root@localhost Python-3.3.0]# python3 -c "import bz2" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/bz2.py", line 21, in <module> from _bz2 import BZ2Compressor, BZ2Decompressor ImportError: No module named '_bz2' By the way, RedHat 5.5 has a built-in python 2.4.3. Would it be a problem?

Hello. We are sorry but we cannot help you. This mailing list is to work on developing Python (adding new features to Python itself and fixing bugs); if you're having problems learning, understanding or using Python, please find another forum. Probably python-list/comp.lang.python mailing list/news group is the best place; there are Python developers who participate in it; you may get a faster, and probably more complete, answer there. See http://www.python.org/community/ for other lists/news groups/fora. Thank you for understanding. On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 02:03:40PM +0800, Isml <76069016@qq.com> wrote:

Depends on what are you going to do. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ phd@phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

I've faced the same problem: while installing packages packed in .tar.bz2 using pip it failed with the same error on importing BZDecompress from _bz2 module (it could not find the `_bz` module). So You can solve the problem by adding a prefix with direct location to your compiled python3.3. <b>But first you need to add a custom path to libbz2 in this line[1357] in setup.py<b>: # Gustavo Niemeyer's bz2 module. if (self.compiler.find_library_file('/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0.4/', 'bz2')): # lib_dirs, 'bz2')): then make && make -f Makefile-libbz2_so && make install (and be careful passing correct --prefix to ./configure)
