inukaze · 06-21-2017, 11:37 PM

Hi there again xD. yesterday i upgrade my Slackware64 14.2 but no errors reported but python right now is not working. i notice that because i try :

Code:

su -c "slpkg repo-enable" root

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/slpkg", line 41, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/main.py", line 809, in main
    arguments[args[0]]()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/main.py", line 146, in command_repo_enable
    RepoEnable().choose()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/repoenable.py", line 68, in choose
    status).buildlist(self.enabled)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/dialog_box.py", line 75, in buildlist
    title=self.title)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dialog.py", line 1964, in buildlist
    code, output = self._perform(cmd, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dialog.py", line 1543, in _perform
    args_file)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dialog.py", line 1504, in _handle_program_exit
    child_output_rfd)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dialog.py", line 1456, in _wait_for_program_termination
    child_output.strip()))
dialog.DialogError

i try to reinstall packages but dont work, more later i try to install something try various things to fix it

Code:

su -c "python setup.py install"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

su -c "pip install -U pip setuptools" root
Contraseña:
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages

su -c "pip uninstall setuptools" root

su -c "pip install --upgrade setuptools"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

su -c "slpkg -s slonly --reinstall python-distutils-extra" root

su -c "pip install --upgrade setuptools"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources


su -c "wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python" root
su -c "easy_install pip python-distutils-extra" root

Well i try to purge it

Code:

slpkg -r --deps dbus-python kdev-python notify-python python-pillow python-setuptools python-slacklog python-distutils-extra pip python2-pythondialog

Well i really don't like python, ever gave me some problem or its python, or modules, or support of some function.

But some apps i use need this thing like
menulibre
dockbarx
catfish
slpkg

<applications>
<videogames>
<etc>

Someone have a tutorial how i can purge at 100% python on Slackware64 14.2 ??? and manually delete every file used by python ???

I don't, but if you succeed that will make your system unusable.

Next, to repair it, make a backup of all the files you want to keep, then reinstall Slackware64-14.2 and restore your back up

You will have to do that every time you break your system, voluntarily or not, so make sure you always have an installation media at hand.

pan64 · 06-22-2017, 01:50 AM

format c:\ will do that.
Actually you will kill your system, python cannot be removed.

For me it looks like your python installation is corrupted, or inconsistent. Probably only the variable PYTHONPATH was not set properly, but you have removed some packages which made it only worse.

The error messages you are posting do not make any sense.

You are removing certain things as root, and then attempting to update them as a normal user.

First a little piece of advice: try to use

Code:

"su - root -c <command>"

and not

Code:

"su -c <command> root"

which is completely off-kilter (as far as I am concerned.

First things first:

You can remove Python completely from a Slackware installation, for this, (as root) use one of these:

Code:

# this will always work:
su - root -c /sbin/removepkg python-*

# this will work if you have configured slackpkg:
su - root -c /usr/sbin/slackpkg remove python

Then, since you are trying to run Python-based application, try the following:

Code:

# this will always work:
su - root -c /sbin/installpkg /path/to/python-*.txz

# this will work if you have configured slackpkg:
su - root -c /usr/sbin/slackpkg install python

Once your Python has been re-installed, you can actually install 'pip' and other Python-related tools as root.

Setting PYTHONPATH shouldn't be needed, it's more likely that inukaze broke Python by doing various things without understanding the consequences.

There were no Python-related updates for Slackware 14.2 for awhile, it must be something else that broke Python.

I have no experience with slpkg, so this is just a guess, but could it be that you tried to invoke slpkg command which for whatever reason (could be because you tried to run it using su -c) exited with an error, as explained in dialog documentation for DialogError exception:

Quote:

Exception raised when the dialog-like program exits with the code indicating an error.

You got that dialog.DialogError exception and mistakenly thought that Python is broken, and by doing all the things above (especially removing setuptools, which is a dependency for many Python packages) now you broke your Python installation with certainty.

In other words, you shot yourself in both feet and now you complain that the shotgun is broken...

Don't know if this will help, but you could try this:

Code:

rm -rf /usr/lib64/python2.7
slackpkg reinstall python python-setuptools

After that you should reinstall the rest of Python-related packages that you removed, especially the ones that come from Slackware and not from SlackBuilds.org. No guarantees that it will work, but since your Python installation is broken anyway, this won't hurt either.

Also some advice:

Do NOT run commands using su -c, first switch to root using su -, then run the commands you wanted, alternatively configure sudo and use that.
Do NOT use easy_install or pip to install Python packages system-wide. Use slpkg, sbopkg or any other tool that lets you install Python stuff from SlackBuilds.org as Slackware packages, so that Slackware's package management tools could track them and allow you to upgrade/remove them easily.

According to su man page, the format is as follows:

Code:

su [options] [username]

So

Code:

su -c <command> root

is correct. su - is equivalent to su -l or su --login

I think a dash is missing.

Code:

paulo@paulobash~$ su -c 'echo $PATH' root
Senha : 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

paulo@paulobash~$ su - -c 'echo $PATH'
Senha : 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib64/java/bin:/usr/lib64/java/jre/bin:/scripts:/usr/lib64/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin

paulo@paulobash~$ su - root -c 'echo $PATH'
Senha : 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib64/java/bin:/usr/lib64/java/jre/bin:/scripts:/usr/lib64/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin

paulo@paulobash~$ su -l root -c 'echo $PATH'

You just want to purge Python 100%?

Code:

rm -rf /usr/*/python* # as root
rm -rf ~/.local/*/python* # as user
rm -rf /usr/local/*/python* # as root

Obviously, this would solve none of your problems and just make your system even more broken.

mralk3 · 06-22-2017, 05:21 PM

If you are trying to use slpkg to uninstall python, you will run into problems, since it requires python.

inukaze · 06-22-2017, 05:31 PM

[QUOTE=dugan;5725794]You just want to purge Python 100%?

Yes, i just need purge python at 100%

Code:

rm -rf /usr/*/python* # as root
rm -rf ~/.local/*/python* # as user
rm -rf /usr/local/*/python* # as root

Thanks i use with root user on terminal :

Code:

slpkg -r --deps pip python gst-python dbus-python gst0-python python-gnupg gnome-python notify-python python-distro python-slacklog python-setuptools gnome-python2-gconf python2-pythondialog gnome-python-desktop python-distutils-extra python-stsci.distutils python3-Cython python3

rm -rf /usr/*/python*
rm -rf ~/.local/*/python*
rm -rf /usr/local/*/python*

Thank you very much.

Now i had the system like i need, well if another day, if i try again i am secure that time works everything fine

dugan · 06-22-2017, 05:59 PM

Hey Inukaze:

Code:

rm -rf ~/.local/*/python*

You need to do this as your normal user. The reason is that if you ran "pip install" using your normal user account, the packages would have been installed there.
