Hi
How would i upgrade python to python2.6.4 using a yum repository ( on all my servers ) and cause manual configuration is time consuming, i am using cent OS 5.4 32 bit
Is there an already available repository to do this.?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had tried to install it using contemporary method ( ./configure ; make ;make install) .. but i get the following error when trying to upgrade .
make : : : ar cr libpython2.6.a Modules/threadmodule.o Modules/signalmodule.o Modules/posixmodule.o Modules/errnomodule.o Modules/pwdmodule.o Modules/_sre.o Modules/_codecsmodule.o Modules/zipimport.o Modules/symtablemodule.o Modules/xxsubtype.o ranlib libpython2.6.a gcc -pthread -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python \ Modules/python.o \ libpython2.6.a -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm libpython2.6.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tmpnam': /tmp/Python-2.6.4/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7180: warning: the use of `tmpnam_r' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' libpython2.6.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tempnam': /tmp/Python-2.6.4/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7135: warning: the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' running build running build_ext

Hi
Python26 is available from EPEL repository: python26-2.6.5-3.el5
mg.
Is there an already available repository to do this.?
The EPEL repository has a python26 package that you can install in parallel of base python.
You can then also use python-virtualenv (also in EPEL) to add the Python modules you would need: virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python26 /path/to/your/virtualenv/dir

Fedora EPEL repository has python 2.6.5 python26-2.6.5-3.el5.i386.rpm
Other repository: There is python 2.6.4 but not be maintained. http://lmacken.fedorapeople.org/rpms/python26-2.6.4-20.el5.i386.rpm http://mirror.its.dal.ca/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/python26-2.6.4-1.ius.paral...

I did a yum install gcc* , then it installed all the required dependencies .
Then make and make install worked correctly .
Then i had to symbolically link it .
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python

That's the worst possible "solution" you could have applied.
The system is completely dependent on the version of python supplied with it (2.4.3) and by replacing it with 2.6 you have effectively broken large parts of it.
Why not just go with the version is EPEL that has been previously recommended in this thread? It installs side-by-side with the system supplied python and as such doesn't break anything.
There is the added bonus that the EPEL supplied python will actually get updated.
