Python 2.7.3-3 won't install on DS413j with DSM 4.1-2661

[balleklorin]

Hi,

I tried to install Python 2.7.3-3 via the GUI.
Nothing seem to happen and it will not install sabnzbd afterwards.
I tried to download the -2 version, but the link on this forum does not work.

I have the same issue with DS411J

Is the installation taking a long time? I think DSM may kill the install script if it times out.

[balleklorin]

Is there a way to measure speed of installation or a log file to check for relevant info?

[Diaoul]

As per the install script there should be a file /usr/local/python/install.log. If not, that's an issue.

Anyway, I label this issue as Synology-related because the install process differs between models and depends on CPU-load: having your NAS busy while installing a SPK might break the whole installation without notice.

It appears that version of Python isn't compatible with DS411J/DS413J models. I was able to confirm by downloading the pkg from the repo to my pc and trying to install (upload) to NAS manually, says its incompatible.

[Diaoul]

The download should be done within the Package Center. Direct download is only for models without Package Center (old models)

I tried installing it again and chose run after install. It just kind of aborted as if nothing had happened after it was finished downloading.

Then I pushed the install button again, and it skipped the download part and looked like it went straight into compilation and reported it an astounding success after some time. I guess that this was one of the exceptionally rare occasions when stupidly pushing the same button twice was the magic trick. Just after it appeared it was busy doing stuff at CPU 100% load i got:
DS413j> ps | grep python

DS413j> pwd

DS413j> more install.log

Might be there is a bug or incompatibility with the Synnology supplied GUI installation method.
