Can't find library in Python.

[borrisl]

Uncle! Uncle!!

Ok, I've exhausted my resources and coming to the group for some advice. I'm trying to use google's "repo" and coming up with these errors.

Python error:
ImportError: No module name readline

I downloaded and installed readline from source - didn't fix.
I install python-dev - didn't help
I tried ezsetup-tools.egg - got a new error that it couldn't find zlib
Tried ezsetup.py - got same "can't decompress data: zlib not available
Tried installing zlib1g - got alrealy installed message
etc.....

Please. I'm on my knees. Can anyone help me with this? 6 hours later and I'm still nowhere. Have mercy.

Maybe you're just missing this:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libreadline-dev

Thank you for replying. At first blush it didn't help, but I'm not completely sure because I SCREWED up my MySQL server by carelessly doing a apt-get upgrade.....

So as soon as I resolve that I'll try it again and hopefully that is my issue.

Thanks
