Installing thrift with Python 2.6?

[Phillip B Oldham <ph...@gmail.com>]

What should one use as the PY_PREFIX to install thrift for Python 2.6?
I've tried everything but the ./configure script reports that its
going to compile for 2.4 (the base install; python2.6 was compiled
using "altinstall").

Still fails. I've tried various python2.6 directories, and nothing
seems to work. I *have* managed to get it to compile correctly,
however, by removing the /usr/bin/python binary (which was a duplicate
of the python2.4 binary) and symlinking the binary for 2.6 in its
place. The thrift compilation then registered and built against 2.6.
Afterwards I re-linked to 2.4 so yum would continue to work without
issue.

Maybe this should be raised as a bug?

PY_PREFIX is where the Python libraries will be installed.
Try running ./configure PYTHON=/path/to/python2.6
