I need python to be python2.3 else many utilities no longer work.
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
This change worked. Thanks !
The problem is then using IDLE and pydoc for Python2.4 since neither are .py scripts
Really?! What are they on Fedora, then?
I realized they are links to the respective idle2.4.py and pydoc2.4.py scripts.
