Testers must use the following environment settings to properly test their applications against Python 2.7.13:

Configuring LCLS production environment for testing

...

Method 1

If you would like full control over your user environment settings, use the following instructions.

1. Add the new Python path to your environment:

   export PYTHON_ROOT=${LCLS_ROOT}/package/python/python2.7.13/linux-x86_64

    

   



2. Add the new Python binaries to the PATH environment variable:
   

   export PATH=${QT_HOME}/bin:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PYTHON_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}



3. Add the new Python libraries and their dependencies (EPICS R3-14-12 64-bit, Matlab2016bMatlab, etc.) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. This is to ensure that the new 64-bit versions of Python modules built against those dependencies will work:
   

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LCLS_ROOT}/matlab/2016b/extern/lib:${EPICS_BASE_RELEASE}/lib/linux-x86_64:${EPICS_EXTENSIONS}/lib/linux-x86_64:${EPICS_BASE_TOP}/base-cpp-R4-6-0/lib/linux-x86_64:${PYTHON_ROOT}/lib:${PYTHON_ROOT}/build/Python2.7.13/Lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}



4. Clear the PYTHONPATH environment variable. This is to ensure that there are no false positives when testing applications, since PYTHONPATH may still have access to older versions of Python modules:
   
   export PYTHONPATH=



5. [Optional] If your application(s) import the "cx_Oracle" module, change/set your ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the followingadd/change the following in your environment:
   
   export ORACLE_HOME= ${LCLS_ROOT} /package/oracle/product/ 11 . 2 . 0 . 2 .0_x86_64/client_1

   export PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
   
   

6. [Optional] If your application(s) import "PyQt", "PyQwt", or any other Python modules that depend on Qt, add/change the following in your environment:

   export QT_HOME=${LCLS_ROOT}/package/Qt/Qt-4.8.6/linux-x86_64


   export PATH=${QT_HOME}/bin:${PATH} 

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QT_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}



Method 2

If you would like to use the full Python 2.7.13 64-bit environment and all of its dependencies, invoke or copy the lines in the following setup script provided in $TOOLS/script:

source /usr/local/lcls/tools/script/go_python2.7.13.bash
