Stop. root@nikos [/opt/python3/bin]# cant remove it. Why you say i cant just yum install python3.3.2 that way it would be installed correcttly automaticall by yum manager and if later i want to remove ot to install 3.3.3 or a later version i would have to do yum remove python3.3.2 but yum cant seem to find any python packages to install. Still i feel my system is a bit messed p and i just want to leave the 2.6 installed and remove all the rest python and then yum install the_latest_one. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
