Hello, I've been researching making a portable Func installation that allows me to run a single "installer" across the thousands of Linux servers we have in our environment, which range from RH 7.3 to RHEL5 and everything in-between. The biggest stumbling block I've run into is the system Python being incompatible with some or all of Func's features - it seems to work best on Python 2.3 or higher (especially the Smolt requirement, which doesn't exist in EPEL for RHEL4 let alone anything older). As a possible solution, I asked around on python-list, and someone pointed me to PyInstaller: http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/ >From the looks of it, it seems as simple as installing Func and its dependencies on the oldest system using a recent Python compiled from source, and then rely on the compat-* libs on the newer systems to allow it to run. It looks like it could be a possible solution, but I wanted to get input from the group. Does anyone have experience with PyInstaller, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Does anyone else see value into having A Moveable Func (apologies for the bad Hemingway reference :) )?
