[...] The first step is to install Python 2.5. Sadly, we can’t simply update the Python 2.4 that comes stock with CentOS 5 as it is required for yum to work properly. To get around this we will be installing a parallel version of Python 2.5. This part of the setup is using the parallel install of Python as described and created by Geekymedia.com. [...]

Thanks for packaging python 2.6 for EL5.

It would be nice if you would consider managing these pacakges in EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).

It would make distribution and installation somewhat easier as well as you reaching a bigger audience.

Kind regards,

Jonathan

Hi First I dont know about the errors that i have to install all the required packages along with the python 2.6 installation(RHEL5). So I installed it. Now what should I do. Do i need uninstall?? and install your RPM’s? How to do uninstall (am new to RPM world) and what ORDER do I need follow for above packages for your rpm installation simply “rpm -ivh” dows that would be enough. Thanks in advance

Hi! I have a problem with installation python-2.6 on CentOS. It’s need libs and when I try to install libs I see this:
[root@~]# rpm -ihv python26-libs-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
python26 = 2.6-geekymedia1 is needed by python26-libs-2.6-geekymedia1.i386
What can I do to fix it?
Best regards, ornicum.
