SQLITE is not working in the AIX distribution of Python 2.6 (Whatever the version: 2.6.2.2, 2.6.1.1 or 2.6.0.0).

The library _sqlite3.so is missing.

This library was included in the 2.5 distributions for AIX.

Is it a miss?

Hello all, using the following command:

tar -xvf ActivePython-2.5.4.4-aix5-powerpc.tar

starts OK but later fails:

...
x ././@LongLink, 106 bytes, 1 media blocks.
x ActivePython-2.5.4.4-aix5-powerpc/INSTALLDIR/doc/python2.5/diveintopython/html/file_handling/summar, 11158 bytes, 22 media bloc
ks.

I've just installed ActiveTcl on an AIX system and am trying to launch autoexpect. It fails with this error:

couldn't load file "/usr/ActiveTcl/lib/expect5.43.0/libexpect5.43.0.so": Could not load module /usr/ActiveTcl/lib/expect5.43.0/libexpect5.43.0.so.
Dependent module /usr/ActiveTcl/lib/expect5.43.0/libexpect5.43.0.so could not be loaded.

This module is on the system:

bash-3.2$ pwd

We have been using AS Python2.5 for a couple of years due to the ease of installing on AIX 5.3. SSL worked out of the box with no special configuration. However, I've now installed AS Python 2.6 and SSL is not compiled as part of the install.

I'm tasked with finding a solution but AIX is tricky at best. I tried compiling Python 2.6 just to get the ssl bits out of it, but that has been an exercise in frustration (no cc_r or xlc* compilers just gcc 3.3.2).

I'm trying to build the pycrypto module with distutils on AIX 5.3 with ActivePython 2.6.1.1 - simply because it is required by paramiko. The default compiler on AIX is cc_r. I've built it on other platforms with no problems but for I'm getting compiler errors on AIX. I have no experience with this platform and I'm bit reluctant to mess around with the C code in the module.
Does ActivePython for AIX use the same compiler or does it use gcc?

cc_r -qlanglvl=ansi -DNDEBUG -O -Isrc/ -I/usr/ActivePython-2.6/include/python2.6 -c src/RIPEMD.c -o build/temp.aix-5.3-2.6/src/RIPEMD.o

I was able to resolve this with xlc compiler
Thanks

Hi,

I have been looking at a problem one ouf our customers was having using ActivePerl to connect via DBD:ODBC to our SQL Server driver on Linux. After investigating, the problem seems to be that the version of iODBC you have built your distribution with expects the W (wide) functions (SQLDriverConnectW, SQLConnectW) to use four byte unicode. Unfortunatly that will fail with just about every ODBC driver out there that exports the W functions, as most of those will expect 2 byte wide characters, just the same as on Windows

I need help installing the python paramiko module on ActiveState python on AIX 5

I am new to python on AIX so need info on how to download and install paramiko

AIX box does not have internet connection so presume cannot use
ez_setup.py?

Can anyone help?
