For everyone who still runs LNST on RHEL5.

Besides the python-ctypes requirement I've hit another issue:

The reason is that RHEL5 comes with python version 2.4 and 'as' keyword is not known to python2.4.

Oh, I didn't realize that. I'm using the 'as' keyword as well somewhere. How are we going to deal with this? Should I change it to the way that's compatible with 2.4?

IMO, I would not stick to the old syntax. RHEL5 is quite old and a workaround exists.

@Jirka, any thoughts on this?

I was able to workaround it with following steps:

1. install python2.6 from epel [1]
2. run nettestslave with following command line:

# PYTHON_PATH=/usr/lib64/python2.6 /usr/bin/python26 ./nettestslave.py -d

Or another way is to modify TestIperf code to use: except OSError, e:

Yes, please send patch changing this to old syntax. Once RHEL5 is gone (in the future) we can change couple of things back again.

Thanks

Jirka

Ok, I'll try to get all the occurrences of this in one patch.
