Verifying the Python version

Python Version 2.4.3 and 2.6.6 to 2.6.8 are supported by IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis.

If you did not use an rpm package to install Python, the IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis installer might not recognize it and a warning message might be displayed. This warning can be ignored and the installation continues.

To verify that you are using the correct version of Python, enter the following command:

rpm -qa | grep "^python-2"

If successful, the command returns the version of Python. For example:

python-2.4.3-27.el5

If you are not using the correct version of Python, download and install it.
