scl is installed on RedHat 6. The man pages for scl work. I want to install Django. I believe that a prerequisite is to install SCL for Python.

$scl -l

returns nothing. I believe that this is a problem. But I don't know what I did wrong.

python --version

returns Python 2.7.5

I ran this command:

scl enable python27 bash

It returned this:

Unable to open /etc/scl/conf/python27!

I tried scl enable python275 bash too. How do I get to enable Python 2.7 with scl? I believe I'll have problems with installing Django based on the directions that I read. There are no files in /etc/scl/conf/. What should I do to get Django installed?

Update (6/24/16): When I tried to run this sudo yum install python27

I received this:

Error: Package: python27-python-libs-2.7.5-10.el6.x86_64 (scl_python27) Requires: libffi.so.5()(64bit) Error: Package: python27-python-libs-2.7.5-10.el6.x86_64 (scl_python27) Requires: libgdbm.so.2()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I tried to install the relevant RPMs. I got a message that a newer version was already installed. I'd rather not downgrade Python from 2.7.5 to 2.7.3.

I tried skip-broken (with sudo yum install python27), but I received this:

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:

This command still returns nothing (no errors, just goes to the next prompt):

scl -l

  • Did you edit `scl.repo` as shown [here](http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2013/02/14/setting-up-django-and-python-2-7-on-red-hat-enterprise-6-the-easy-way/)? – Jedi Jun 19 '16 at 07:12
  • I tried. I ran this: "sudo yum install python27" and I received this: Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos Config error: File contains no section headers. file: file:///etc/yum.repos.d/scl.repo, line: 1 'c/p from http://people.redhat.com/bkabrda/scl_python27.repo\n' – Kiran Jun 24 '16 at 23:24
  • Or...you can use python virtualenv to create a separate installation of python in user's home directory. Then, you can do `pip install django` – ILMostro_7 Jan 31 '18 at 12:59
