python2.4/site-packages

All,
I have been successful in build/install of python2.4
on AIX.
Now ,Is it mandatory that I build the third-party
packages ( python2.4/site-packages) .If so is there a
list that needs to be built and installed .
Please advise.

Only if you want to use them. Really, no.
If so is there a
list that needs to be built and installed .


There is a list of them packages which you MAY install but may also
choose not to here:

http://www.python.org/pypi

This used to be called the Python Package index but is now the Python
Cheese Shop? Huh???

I have but I've never heard of PyPI's name being changed? I can only
find an announcement on Slashdot?

I came across the change a good while back in my Web referrals, not
having heard of it except passively. PyPI was a simple, clear,
unambiguous name; Cheese Shop is just a silly name for no purpose.

Conversely, PyPI is a dull name with no obvious pronunciation, thus
difficult to remember; whereas Cheese Shop is a short phrase (that can
be translated), is easy to remember and has easy analogies to its
actual function.

Indeed. A place completely uncontaminated by cheese:

Hi - I just added a shiny Dell server running Red Hat 9 to my office intranet. I noticed that it has python2.2 installed, not 2.3. I found rpms for python2.3 on the python.org site, and the page mentions that the rpms are meant to peacefully coexists with the redhat python2.2 rpms. Has anyone installed these 2.3 rpms while keeping the old 2.2 rpms and has anyone had any problems with these?
