I concur, but FYI the version of Python with RHEL5 is 2.4. Still, OP
should stick with that unless there is a pressing reason.
Hence, the 2.6 install.
First, sorry for my omission to trim.
Second, the reason for recommending that OP stick to the Red Hat provided
version (unless there is a pressing reason) is the question of the
already-paid-for Red Hat support.
Generally, when you compile from source the binaries will install to
/usr/local/bin and not be in conflict with RH's install version.
And for that matter, if OP is forced to a later Python 2 version than
2.4, why not 2.7.3?
Package dependencies. If the OP intends to install a package that
doesn't support other than 2.6, you install 2.6.
