This made it easy for me to get the important unsupported py modules to build -- thank you.

Thanks!

Why echo "/opt/python27/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf ??

You'll need python-dev before this script will work.

Just like @aaronyo said, it worked like a charm for me too. Thanks!

Thanks. It's a good work!

Thanks.

Is that an error on line #22?

Thanks a lot ! U rule !!!
