Compiling Python 2.7.16

Compiling Python 2.7.16

[Edison Ibáñez]

Hello again

I'm trying to compile the version of python 2.7.16

but I get the following error

WARNING: The Python readline extension was not compiled. Missing the GNU readline lib?
ERROR: The Python zlib extension was not compiled. Missing the zlib?

Please consult to the Wiki page to fix the problem.
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki/Common-build-problems


BUILD FAILED (Linux 5.1.10 using python-build 1.2.12)

I have installed those packages but when they die, they can not be located

What Guix command did you run to get this error?

> I have installed those packages but when they die, they can not be located

I don’t know what this means.

Please keep the mailing list in Cc.

Generally, I don’t think pyenv is going to be useful when you’re already
using Guix.

In order to help you we need to have more information.  Please provide
answers to my previous questions.  Here they are for context:

I get it,
I'm new to guix, so I think the question would be how can I have a workflow similar to the one with pyenv + virtualenv + emacs, using guix + emacs ..?

You can use separate profiles:

    guix package --profile=/home/me/python2 \
                 --install python2 python2-numpy”

This will install the latest version of Python 2.7 together with a
matching variant of numpy into a profile at /home/me/python2.  You can
“activate” the profile with

    export GUIX_PROFILE=/home/me/python2
    source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile

You can create as many separate profiles as you need.
