Then leave your 2.3 installation exactly as it is (so that python is a link to python2.3) and run python2.4 where needed. To specifically use python 2.4 to run IDLE, simply type in a shell: [user]$ python2.4 /usr/bin/idle Alternatively, create your own (executable) idle or pydoc with a shebang that points permanently at python2.4. For example: file: $HOME/bin/idle2.4 ----------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python2.4 from idlelib.PyShell import main if __name__ == '__main__': main() ----------------------------------- Then if $HOME/bin is on your PATH, you can simply run: idle2.4 > The problem is then using IDLE and pydoc for Python2.4 since neither > are .py scripts Really?!
