Hi; I am trying to change the default version of python on my centos 5.7 box and leave the old installation. Frustrated by not finding any help online, I went ahead and installed Python 2.6 from the source. It appears to be my default, but when I fire up mod_wsgi, it complains that it can't import os. Please advise. TIA, Quincey

I will not answer your question, sorry. I just remembered that for ruby is such a thing called rvm (Ruby version manager) http://beginrescueend.com/ . I wonder if it could be extended for use with other languages. As I understood it is just a shell wrapper that sets PATH and such things.

hard to tell without error message, but I guess that mod_wsgi is linked to your old python and wont work with another python. Maybe you have to recompile mod_wsgi too?
...snip $ ldd /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so ... libpython2.4.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython2.4.so.1.0 ... snap...
Apparently I need to install apache2-dev. Apparently there isn't such available from yum. I can't even figure out where to download a tarball to do it from source. Ideas? TIA, Quincey

Try installing httpd-devel. for searchin package names use "yum search".

Use the modules environment to change the default for users but not the default for the system. See modules.sf.net
