I built 1.1.3 from source on RedHat 7.2.
I know we should update to a recent distro, but I try not to show too much
competence as a sysadmin here. At my last job, I spent the morning doing
sysadmin jobs, and the afternoon defending why my developing deadlines
weren't met ;)
Python version installed is Python 1.5.2
tools/backup/hot-backup.py breaks because os.popen3 is unknown.
I tried fixing it. popen3 does exist in this Python, but somewhere else and
with a slightly different returnvalue.
try:
dir(os.popen3)
except AttributeError:
import popen2
def popen3fix(cmd):
outfile, infile, errfile = popen2.popen3(cmd)
return infile, outfile, errfile
os.popen3 = popen3fix
But then it breaks on os.spawnl, which is new in Python 1.6
I stopped trying there and updated to Python 2.2 and changed the shabang to
use Python2. Which does work.
Maybe with the mentioned code as "Step 0" it will work on Python 1.6
I don't know that.
A test case for this patch seems fairly simple, if you'd like one I'll fix
one. Just mail me, I don't read the mailinglist (yet).
