Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is ‘safe’ to install Python 3.2 on CentOS? By
‘safe’ I mean not breaking the existing base Python 2.4.x installation
upon which various CentOS/RHEL services (like yum) depend. Will the
‘make install’ install 3.2 in parallel with the existing 2.x
installation, or break it? I’m new to Python and OSS, but the little
I’ve read indicates that this could be a major risk.
I have read on this list that there is a 'make altinstall' for *nix to
avoid problems with the 'base' install. (2.4, really? that is ancient!).
