I would like to install several python versions to build SymPy with Sympy-bot in my fedora 18. I came to know that pythonbrew can be used to do that from here. I followed the installation instructions but when I try to install a python version, pythonbrew downloads the source package and start installing it. Before the completion it exits with the below error message.

Patching Python-2.5 ERROR: Failed to patch /home/thilina/.pythonbrew/build/Python-2.5. 127: failed to (patch -p0 < "/home/thilina/.pythonbrew/patches/all/python25/patch-setup.py.diff") >> '/home/thilina/.pythonbrew/log/build.log' 2>&1

Can anyone lend me a hand here? Thanks in advance.

Your error refers to the GNU patch command.

This issue probably arises from not having patch installed or it not being in your path.

Install this package with the following command before using pythonbrew:

yum install patch

Everything should now install correctly.
