Step by Step how to upgrade Python 2.6.x to 2.7.x with Kafka module.

Step1:-

[root@sankar-devops]# python --version
Python 2.6.6

[root@sankar-devops]# python 
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Aug 18 2016, 08:36:59) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.


Step2:
[root@sankar-devops]#cd /opt

[root@sankar-devops opt]#wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.8/Python-2.7.8.tar.xz  

[root@sankar-devops opt]#xz -d Python-2.7.8.tar.xz  

[root@sankar-devops opt]#tar -xvf Python-2.7.8.tar 

Step3: [root@sankar-devops opt]# cd Python-2.7.8
[root@sankar-devops Python-2.7.8]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

[root@sankar-devops Python-2.7.8]# make

[root@sankar-devops Python-2.7.8]# make altinstall

copying build/scripts-2.7/smtpd.py -> /usr/local/bin
copying build/scripts-2.7/idle -> /usr/local/bin
copying build/scripts-2.7/2to3 -> /usr/local/bin
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pydoc to 755
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/smtpd.py to 755
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/idle to 755
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/2to3 to 755
running install_egg_info
Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/Python-2.7.8-py2.7.egg-info
rm /usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_sysconfigdata.py*

Step4:
Put the below line in ~/.bashrc file:

[root@sankar-devops]#vim ~/.bashrc
....
....
alias python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7

:wq!

Now execute the command:

[root@sankar-devops]#source ~/.bashrc


Step5:
Kafka Module installation on Python 2.7.x

[root@sankar-devops]#cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages


[root@sankar-devops]#cd /usr/lib/python2.6/

[root@sankar-devops]#cp -r kafka /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

[root@sankar-devops]#cp -r kafka_python-1.4.4.dev-py2.6.egg-info/  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

[root@sankar-devops]#cp -r pip*  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

  
Step6: Verification
[root@sankar-devops]# python
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 18 2018, 11:10:21) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18)] on linux2
