I had that problem once, although to be fair it really does depend on which distribution you use as to how many problems you're going to have. Perhaps the way to do it is to install the new Python version in /usr/local/ (alongside the distro's version is in /usr/ ), then when you're sure your new version is installed and working, change the references over - perhaps it's possible to do this with just 1 symbolic link somewhere. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
