[Pydns-developer] PyDNS question

[Dalibor T. <dt...@fo...>]

Hi,

maybe I am missing something (I am not a python expert) but I have
troubles installing the PyDNS (2.3.0) on RH 7.2 with Python 1.5.2.

Your setup.py imports the DNS library so the command 'python setup.py
install' fails because there is no such module installed yet. After I
removed the import and replaced the version with '2.3.0' string the
installation process starts but it is not able to compile some modules
(see the script output below).

Does the PyDNS require newer version of python?

Regards
Dalibor Toman
