  • 1.  CSV module for python on esx5i

    Posted Apr 11, 2012 03:58 PM

    Hi,

    We used to be able to import python csv module in ESX4.

    In esx5i we can't. Is there any way of having this module working on ESX5i ? Though about install it but distutils is also not included in esx5i.

    Help

    Thanks!

    ESXi is based on a busybox... that is really a limited Linux evironment... So probably the answer is just no.

    Use the vMA instead.

    OK, figured it out.

    Python on esx5i is 32bit whereas on ESX4 it is python 64bit.

    Simply copying csv.py, csv.pyc, csv.so to a python path from a 32bit python installed on ubuntu 32bit for instance works.
