I will start with something very basic. After installing python, did you start a new ssh window or putty session? if not, can you please try that first. Also run python -V to find python version.

I have started new putty session but still getting the same problem. No luck.

python version is Python 2.7.5

Please check the following code (line 81). Basically your python version is evaluating to less than 2.6. It is definitely not coming evaluating as 2.7.5.

What is your PYTHON home?

Can you run "/usr/bin/python -V" and share the result.

If you still see the message then based on following link, you can try with "--skip-borken"

i am getting the result : Python 2.7.6

But ubuntu doesn't have -skip-broken function it seems and it is not working. Please give the ubuntu related code.

When shall I use the --skip-broken command ? any sample code please.

Is this really works?

Thanks,

Can you try removing python and then reinstalling it.

1. sudo dpkg -P python2.7
2. sudo apt-get install python2.7
