I've tried this: yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade python but that just told me everything was ok with the current installation, not what I'm after. So I think I should try c5-testing, but all I get is this: [c5-testing] name=CentOS-5 Testing baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing How do I incorporate this and where? Next I'll try building an rpm if I must. TIA, Susan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
