python(abi)

[Ioannis Vranos]

OS: Scientific Linux 4.4 (http://www.scientificlinux.org) which is a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 derivative (http://www.redhat.com/rhel/), like CentOS (http://www.centos.org),
White Box Linux (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org) etc.

Python version built and installed from sources: 2.4.4.


I am trying to install BitTorrent 5.0 prerequisites, and when I am trying to install
wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3.3-fc4_py2.4.i386. rpm, I am getting the message that it
requires python(abi):

[root@localhost download]# rpm -ivh wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3.3-fc4_py2.4.i386. rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3.3-fc4_py2.4.i386

[root@localhost download]#



I have found in some message logs, that it is a pseudo-requirement, but where can I
download this for Python 2.4.4? (The Python version that comes with my distribution is
currently 2.3.4).

something like this could work:

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/updates/4/i386/python-2.4.3-8.FC4.i386.html
