Webware for Python

Warning: the Newbie continues...

With help from this list I have succeeded in testing Webware using 
localhost. This weekend I attempted to move the project to a live 
server to continue to testing and learning. The server is SME Server 
6.0 (RedHat 7.3). I updated Python to 2.3.4. I copied Webware-0.8.1 to 
my usr/local/ then ran install.py. I created a new directory for the 
project and ran MakeAppWorkDir.py. All of these steps seem to complete 
normally.

When I attempt to invoke AppServer, I get the following message:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "Launch.py", line 34, in ?
     main(sys.argv)
   File "Launch.py", line 13, in main
     if arg.startswith('--webware-path='):
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'startswith'

I can't seem to get a hit on the words in the message. Can anyone offer 
a link, suggestion or hint as to what is amiss and/or what I have 
overlooked?

Looks like the script got interpreted by somenthing like Python <= 2.0.x, not the Python 2.3. Make sure you're using correct version of Python interpreter.

One small change in the script solved the problem. Yeah! Mark Phillips Mophilly & Associates On the web at http://www.mophilly.com On the phone at 619 444-9210

Hi Mark, Max is right. I would bet that when you did the install, it picked up the version of Python in SME Server, which is older. You would have to reference the version of Python you installed explicitly, e.g. /usr/local/python2.3/python setup.py install. It is possible to deal with multiple versions of Python and various other support libraries. You just have to make sure the version you want is the version being referenced.
