Thanks Waylan - http://achinghead.com/archive/83/installing-multiple-versions-python/ is just what I needed.
Thanks Shaleh, I appreciate the detailed explanation :) Yes - the shell is something that I have to get more familiar with - I've only really recently started using ubuntu for development so am on a bit of a learning journey. So it seems pretty easy to invoke the version of python I want to use, and using symbolic links make sense (especially after seeing Waylan's link). Just a couple of questions: I didn't quite get what you were referring to with the Django command line tool, and Django scripts - are you talking about django- admin.py ? When you install a python package from the package manager or using apt-get, is there some way to tell it to install into a specific version of python, or does it use the python symlink /usr/bin/python, or something else? - Waylan installed easy_install for each python version in his example (so he could install packages for different python versions). Thanks a lot, Things are becoming much clearer now. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
