2 on a scale from 1 to 10. >Is it a one-time process, or something to maintain? Both :-) I installed Python 2.2 - 2.4 from source on Linux with no problem whatsoever. I now plan about 5 minutes installation time per new release, that's 2 minutes to make coffee, 2 minutes to skim the release notes and README and 1 minute to watch ./configure; make; make install do it's magic. There are some details to watch out for, such as having the required libraries and include files around before installation, to enable specific functionality (e.g. SSL support in socket). But that's no big deal. -- René Pijlman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
