Difficulty installing Google Apps SDK on Fedora
I am having difficulty installing the google app engine SDK on my Fedora Core system. How can I get this working? Thanks.

I tried using yum update python and it said nothing marked for update. So I tried a yum install python and the message was clearer still "package python 2.6.2-2.fc12.i686 already installed".
But going to python.org I see there is in fact a newer version 2.6.4. http://www.python.org/download/.
I'll try to manually install from there.

Yes, try installing it manually.
Good luck.

I was able to upgrade the python to 2.6.4..

I'll have to give that a try icenick. I posted to the google app engine board and there they said I would need to downgrade to Python. We'll see what the fix is soon!

Never could get this going but I've moved on to other priorities. Thanks.
From the messages above, the warning is related to Python. Python does not use sha and md5. Instead it uses hashlib.
You need to update your python. Try installing newer version of python and try again.
I hope I helped.
