I'm sure this is an easy question for most here, but it's throwing me
for a loop at the moment - I need to upgrade RHEL 3 with the latest
version of Python. I downloaded the source and installed, but we're
still having problems (i.e. some Python apps don't work, Add/Remove
Applications console errors out and doesn't open, etc.). My guess is
that it's using old libraries or otherwise conflicting with the old
Python version, but I'm not sure how to remove the original version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

RHEL uses python for distro specific tools pretty extensively iirc.
I'd stay away from source installs and stick to rpms / yum /
up2date / whatever RH uses these days.

Thanks, Paul - do you know where I can get the RPM? I only see the
source on the Python website. Thanks.

You can also use 'make altinstall' This does everything but symlink to
python, so you can still run (for example) python2.4 to start your
scripts.
Thanks guys - I will give it another go!

I'd like to be able to install python with stow, and then to install
various modules which use distutils, also with stow. This currently
pretty much won't work, because Python chases symlinks to set
sys.prefix, which means that the site path gets set to the `true'
location rather than the one with all the links. This means that
Python won't find modules you install with stow, unless you glue the
linky site directory into sys.path. Doing...

This question applies specifically to RHEL 3.0 (actually Whitebox), but
also generally to Redhat and probably pretty much every distribution
that uses python for distribution-related tasks (configuration
managers, rpm package management, yum, etc).
So I want to upgrade to python 2.4 on Whitebox 3.0. Ideally I would
like python to live in /usr/bin and replace the python 2.2 that ships
with RHEL entirely. This gets pretty infeasable when...

I've been using python to write a simple 'launcher' for one of our Java

Today, one of my colleagues noted that on her machine the launcher would
complain it was missing a DLL - msvcr71.dll
However, there's a very grey area concerning the redistribution of said DLL.

Can we open up the discussion here about how to improve setuptools
which has become the de facto standard for distributing / installing
python software. I've been playing around with ruby's gems which seems
to be more more mature and usable.
From my perspective, the relative immaturity of setuptools and its
simultaneous widespread use is a clear python weakness and can make
python less easy to absorb than it should be.
