1. Add the new Python instance to your environment:

   Code Block
   language bash theme Confluence
   export PYTHON_ROOT=${LCLS_ROOT}/package/python/python2.7.13/linux-x86_64

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

   Code Block
   language bash theme Confluence
   export PATH=${QT_HOME}/bin:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PYTHON_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}

3. Add the new Python libraries and their dependencies (EPICS 64-bit, Matlab, 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:

   Code Block
   language bash theme Confluence
   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 Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable. This is to ensure that there are no false positives when testing applications, since the current PYTHONPATH may still have access to older versions of Python modules and override the new libraries:

   Code Blockinfo
   languagetitle bash theme Confluence
   export PYTHONPATH=

   [Optional] If your application(s) import the "cx_Oracle" module, add/change the following in your environment:

   Note

   The ${EPICS_BASE_TOP}/base-cpp-R4-6-0/pvaPy/lib/python/2.7/linux-x86_64 directory contains EPICS V4 Python modules. The /usr/local/lcls/tools/python/toolbox directory contains SLAC-maintained Python modules.

   Code Block
   language bash theme Confluence
   export PATHPYTHONPATH=${ORACLEEPICS_BASE_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} TOP}/base-cpp-R4-6-0/pvaPy/lib/python/2.7/linux-x86_64:${LCLS_ROOT}/tools/python/toolbox

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

   Code Block
   language bash theme Confluence
   export QT_HOMEPATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LCLSORACLE_ROOT}/package/Qt/Qt-4.8.6/linux-x86_64 export PATH=${QT_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QT_HOME}/libHOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Workarounds

After testing, it may be discovered that certain applications may not run with Python 2.7.13 64-bit due to unresolved/conflicting dependencies (e.g., 32-bit Python modules, Matlab2016b, Qt, etc.) or other reasons. If such dependencies cannot currently be resolved, Python developers may invoke the following environment settings in a wrapper script or similar to launch the application using the older instance of Python instead:

Workarounds

After testing, it may be discovered that certain applications may not run with Python 2.7.13 64-bit due to unresolved/conflicting dependencies (e.g., Python modules only available for 32-bit Python, Matlab2016b, Qt, etc.) or other reasons. If such dependencies cannot currently be resolved, Python developers may invoke the following environment settings in a wrapper script or similar to launch the application using the older instance of Python instead:
