Hi!
I want to test some software on my CentOS 5 machine that is not too happy with the system python (2.4). So when I install a python to my machines I want it to be
a) clean: in other words it should be a RPM b) safe: it should not remove the system-python (in order not to break the system-scripts in subtle ways) but be accessible for instance as python2.6 (while python would still be python2.4)
I've looked around (even other places than the usual suspects RPMforge and EPEL) for repositories that could have such packages.
Before I start rolling my own RPMs: is anyone aware of a repository that has such packages? (an added bonus would be if it had RPMs of PyQt4, I didn't find those for Centos or RHEL, too)

I've heard good things about this repo, but as with everything else, use at your own risk. If it eats your dog and runs off with your girlfriend, I am not responsible.

Brilliant. Exactly the kind of information you don't get by googling around. Thanks

I understand. But if I GET a dog I can hold you resonsible? ;)

If it's a great dane, then you can hold my dog responsible. I claim innocence at all times.
