如何使用自定义构建Python创建virtualenv环境来解决此问题？

我需要在预先安装了Python 2.3.4的Linux机器上运行一些代码.我不在该机器的sudoers列表中,所以我将Python 2.6.4构建到我的主目录的(子目录)中.然后我尝试使用virtualenv(第一次),但得到了:

$ Python-2.6.4/python virtualenv/virtualenv.py ENV

我应该将PYTHONHOME设定为某个值吗？(由于缺少一个更好的名字,我故意将我的ENV命名为"ENV".)

不知道我是否可以忽略这些错误,我尝试在我的ENV中安装nose(0.11.1):

$ cd nose-0.11.1/
$ ls

$ ~/ENV/bin/python setup.py install

有什么建议？

你真的在你的自定义python构建上运行"make install"吗？通常你会想要做类似的事情

./configure --prefix=/path/to/installdir  (other options)
make
make install

注意前缀可以是您具有完全写入权限的任何目录,例如我经常在共享托管环境中使用$ HOME/apps.

然后运行/ path/to/installdir/bin/python,而不是构建目录中的那个.这应该创建正确的变量,然后你可以安装virtualenv.可能最好使用其setup.py安装virtualenv:

cd virtualenv_source_dir
/path/to/installdir/bin/python setup.py install

这可能需要首先使用相同的方法安装setuptools.

最后:

# Just to be safe
export PATH="/path/to/installdir/bin:$PATH" 

virtualenv ~/ENV
~/ENV/bin/pip install somepackage # (and such)
