I am a developer in the UK trying to use the S3QL package on a Linux
EC2 box.
I have tried (for hours!) to get it installed but keep hitting this on
the python setup.py test install for S3QL.
Have you any suggestions?
TIA
Lawrence

You seem to be running Python 2.6. S3QL requires Python 2.7. If you use
Ubuntu, you may get away with Python 2.6 because the Ubuntu packages in
the PPA have been specially patched to work with Python 2.6 as well.

..but otherwise you need to either use Python 2.7 or manually make the
necessary changes. The later is of course not recommended, not
supported, and at your own risk.

S3QL can run with any Python installation you want. By default, it uses
whatever Python is installed under the "python" command. If you want to
use e.g. "python2.7" instead, you can install S3QL with
# python2.7 setup.py [...]
instead of
# ./setup.py [...]
and it will use the python2.7 interpreter instead.
The real challenge might be to install two different Python versions in
parallel. With Debian and Ubuntu, this is supported out of the box, but
I have heard that this isn't the norm with every distribution.
