Yes and no. All this pertains to linux for me, and using prebuilt binaries can lead to issues depending on how python was built. Without the headers of the libraries I can't build a binary package with chimera's python. Would it be possible to include the headers in your distribution? - Charlie On 10/21/05, Greg Couch <gregc@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
The normal way would be for you to download the whatever extension you wanted to try out and to install it using chimera's python -- CHIMERA/bin/python setup.py install. The tough part is to use the same compiler that we're using so that the runtime's are compatible (especially true on Windows, you need to use Visual Studio .NET 2003, not as true on UNIX platforms).
The alternative is use a prebuilt binary. This works really well with Windows, but you need to install the Windows python so the extension will install properly and then copy the files to the appropriate place in the Chimera hierarchy -- CHIMERA/bin/Lib/site-packages/ on Windows, CHIMERA/lib/python2.4/site-packages on UNIX (and a similar place on Mac OS X).
Does that answer your question?

Suppose I want to build a python module into chimera that requires the python headers, (e.g. numarray (I know numeric is there but just play along)). How would one go about doing this? I see you provide the python2.4 binary now, which helps for pure python extension. Thanks for that!

Hi all, We've put out a new version (1.2180) which we believe fixes the problems that some people were having on XP platforms. We're hoping that those of you that were having problems will try out the new version at your earliest convenience and let us know how it works. Thanks!
