    This would suggest you've installed a 64-bit python interpreter but kept the 32-bit _functools.so somehow. Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 16:30
  • Im using a shared library with a parallel python 2.6 installation with python 2.4 Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 16:35
  • Trying to get Python 2.4 to use Python 2.6's standard library by messing with the PYTHONPATH seems like recipe for disaster even if they're both 32-bit or 64-bit; you're probably quite likely to see syntax errors as well. Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 16:49
  • both python installations are 64bit. What PYTHONPATH would i add to my .bash_profile Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 16:55

You have the wrong version of the functional module installed. Either install the correct binary version, or use the pure-python version.

how would I go about doing this?
can I just swap out _functools.so with the correct one in /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload or would this break python?
@user1442957 You can try it, but I can't guarantee you won't see problems at some point. It would be much better to install a version compatible with your installation.
