On linux SUSE or RedHat how do I load Python 2 7

Question

Can someone provide the steps needed to install python version 2 7 on SUSE and RedHat   It version that is on there is like 2 4 and I need to have it at at least 2 6 to make my script work  So after the install  I can type Python in a xTerm and get the Python 2 7 command line interface

User · Answer

If you can live with 2 6  EPEL has it for RHEL 5 in the python26 package  although you will need to use python2 6 to invoke it since the system will still need python to be 2 4 in order to run

Great thing about linux  you re still able to download the source and on most systems have all of the tools to compile the version yourself   In order to get a python cli from xterm just by typing python  the python bin directory must be in your system path variable  Red Hat example  Suse example

You have to leave Python 2 4 installed on RHEL Centos  otherwise  tools start breaking  You can do a dual-install  though  I talk about this here   http   thebuild com blog 2009 10 17 wordpress-to-djangopostgresql-part-3-installing-apache-python-2-6-psycopg2-and-mod wsgi   The post is about 2 6  but applies equally to 2 7

The accepted answer by dr jimbob  using make altinstall  got me most of the way there  with python2 7 in  usr local bin but I also needed to install some third party modules  The nice thing is that easy install gets its installation locations from the version of Python you are running  but I found I still needed to install easy install for Python 2 7 otherwise I would get ImportError  No module named pkg resources  So I did this   wget http   pypi python org packages 2 7 s setuptools setuptools-0 6c11-py2 7 egg sudo -i export PATH  PATH  usr local bin sh setuptools-0 6c11-py2 7 egg exit   Now I have easy install and easy install-2 7 in  usr local bin and the former overrides my system s 2 6 version of easy install  so I removed it   sudo rm  usr local bin easy install   Now I can install libraries for the 2 7 version of Python like this   sudo  usr local bin easy install-2 7 numpy
