Centos ipython安装

准备环境：

yum install gcc make  zlib zlib-devel readline-devel patch openssl-devel

gcc make：安装编译器。zlib：用于python egg安装。readline-devel patch：用于readline模块的申明和头文件等，给使用了readline模块的程序提供编译支持（readline是ipython代码自动补完，自动缩进，高亮显示）。openssl-devel：用于easy_install使用，否则会提示unknown url type且补装后还需要重新编译python所以在此全部安装。ncurses：据说还需要此包，但我的环境中本来就有。

下载并解压Python包，需要使用--no-check-certificate参数，否则会报certificate common name：

wget --no-check-certificate http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz
tar xvf Python-2.7.3.tgz

进入对应文件并编译：

cd Python-2.7.3
./configure
make && make install

configure，生成Makefile，为编译做准备。make，编译。make insatll，安装。

替换默认python：

mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/pythonOld2.6
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python 

查看是否替换成功（2.7版本即替换成功）：

python -V

由于yum得使用旧python才能正常运行，所以修改yum文件将其指向旧python：

vim /usr/bin/yum
#!/usr/bin/pythonOld2.6

下载并安装setuptools，方便使用easy_install安装模块：

wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

下载并解压readline模块，用于 代码自动补完， 自动缩进，高亮显示：

wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/readline/readline-6.2.4.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf readline-6.2.4.1.tar.gz
cd readline-6.2.4.1

安装readline模块（会提示缺少libreadline.a与libhistory.a）：

easy_install readline

查找 libreadline.a与libhistory.a：

[root@bogon readline-6.2.4.1]# find / -name libread*
/lib64/libreadline.so.6.0
/lib64/libreadline.so.6
/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/libreadline.a
/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/shlib/libreadline.so.6.2
/usr/lib64/libreadline.so
[root@bogon readline-6.2.4.1]# find / -name libhist*
/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/libhistory.a
/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/shlib/libhistory.so.6.2
/usr/lib64/libhistory.so
/usr/lib64/libhistory.so.6.0
/usr/lib64/libhistory.so.6

修改readline模块包里的setup.py(110行，将查找路径修改为上一步找到的路径)：

vi setup.py
extra_objects=['/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/libreadline.a', '/tmp/readline-6.2.4.1/rl/readline-lib/libhistory.a'],

再安装readline模块：

easy_install install ipython

进入ipython
