Warning: group alt-python does not exist.

[Heikki Kniivila]

Hello.
I'm trying to follow this guide Python Web Applications In cPanel On CloudLinux | Liquid Web
to get the python button to cPanel users.

While running the command
yum grouplist | grep alt-python
i will get an empty response.

yum groupinstall alt-python
will give me
Warning: group alt-python does not exist.
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
Error: No packages in any requested group available to install or update

i have run
yum groups mark install

Any ideas?

Hello @Heikki Kniivila ,

I'm not able to reproduce this on my test server. I'm seeing the output below.

[[email protected] ~]# yum grouplist 2>/dev/null|grep alt-python
   alt-python
   alt-python27
   alt-python33
   alt-python34
   alt-python35
   alt-python36
   alt-python37
   alt-python38

Can you confirm the server is running CloudLinux with the following command? The running kernel should contain "lve" if it's CloudLinux.

uname -r

Can you ensure the CloudLinux repositories are installed and enabled? They will be located in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and will have "enabled=1" in the repository files.

Oh sorry, i'm runing CentOS 7.8
i thought it was similar in CentOS. How can i enable that in CentOS then?

# uname -r
3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64

Hello @Heikki Kniivila ,

Thank you for the update. You will not be able to use Alt-Python without CloudLinux. That said, we do have the following documentation for setting up Python apps in cPanel.
