My ultimate goal is to download and install awscli http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-linux.html Seems python and pip are required in order to accomplish my goal. Installing python via yum isn't working for me, so I downloaded and installed python3 manually as follows: wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tar.xz tar xf Python-3.6.1.tar.xz cd Python-3.6.1.tar.xz ./configure make sudo make altinstall When I do pip3.6 --version I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pip3.6", line 7, in <module> from pip import main

The documentation states that the default value for buffering is: If omitted, the system default is used . I am currently on Red Hat Linux 6, but I am not able to figure out the default buffering that is set for the system. Can anyone please guide me as to how determine the buffering for a system? Since you linked to the 2.7 docs, I'm assuming you're using 2.7. (In Python 3.x, this all gets a lot simpler, because a lot more of the buffering is exposed at the Python level.) All open actually does (on POSIX systems) is call fopen , and then, if you've passed anything for buffering , setvbuf .
