Have you remembered import atexit ?

I did see the python docs link and saw that line, this script for cluster server is known to work as is. Although it lacked the import, I already tried that and it never helped, which is what confirmed I didn't know squat wrt to python:) The cluster list has lower volume, so I will just have to wait and see what the guys there have to say.

Thanks for the idea though, jlc

I haven't got ready access to a CentOS box - what version of Python are you using?

atexit is only available in v2.1.3 and later

Hi, Its 2.4, stock...

Thanks, jlc

How did you get the script onto your box? Python can be very picky with whitespace.

What's the URL? Determined to get it working now! :-)

Its http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fence.git and down in there is a fence_ifmib.py.

Sorry hit send to fast. You'll also need the files that the cluster group sticks in /usr/lib/fence such as fencing.py|pyc|pyo and fencing_snmp.py|pyc|pyo

Thanks

Which I forgot to post but Benjamin already linked it to you, opps.

Well after rereading it I see that the second note of recommended things not to do has been done:) Given I don't python, I dare not criticize:) Hopefully the cluster list has some suggestions, there are people running some variant of it, and it's a perfect solution for my need:(

Digressing a bit, but what's python got over Perl, anything? I am not sure how much work is involved, but I might have a look at writing something fast in Perl, all I need to do is drop a port on a procurve to fence IO using snmp v3. SNMP::Util looks pretty basic?

Given I don't need broad support, I can probably just hack something as I only use procurves.

Why are you reading Python 2.5 documentation if you're running your so-called "stock 2.4"?

Please post both output of the

python --version uname -a

and post the Python error message.

If you want help with the code, post code - or put it sock in it.

It's off topic and unsolicited noise - which means you're wasting our bandwidth.

The module is a file

atexit.py

which lives on my machine in it's "stock" location

/usr/lib/python2.4

If you have a 64 bit machine, then it's /usr/lib64/python2.4.

EIther you have the atexit.py file or you don't.

If you don't have it, then go get it by downloading the source code Python 2.4 from the http://www.python.org.

And please, either put up or shut up.

atexit.py should be part of the base python RPM in EL5

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.4/atexit.py python-2.4.3-27.el5

Did this get solved in the end?

Ben

Nope:) I started writing a Perl script to accomplish what I need yesterday. Given I have zero experience with python, it was the easier solution although I would have loved to stick with a provided solution in the event I end up overlooking something.

Thanks for the effort none the less, jlc
