Hello there, What would be considered the correct/best way to run a current release of python locally vs. the installed system version? On openSUSE 12.3, the repos currently have 2.7.3 and 3.3.0. As far as I know, I'm not really hitting any limitations with the existing versions - my skills just aren't that far along - so its not a burning 'need' but I'm still curious/interested in the topic.
Also... in some places in the 'Net I see references to installing everything 'locally' via pip, etc. in virtualenvs and not touching the system installed version of python... yet most linux distros seem to have many/most such packages available in their package repos, which seems like it'd be easier to install via the package manager and let it keep things updated. Could someone touch on what they feel the pros and cons would be either way? Thanks, Monte -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
