We have a fair bit of Python 2.7 Twisted code deployed on RHEL and CentOS 5 and 6. In each case, we build from source and do a make altinstall so we’re running a Python separate from the system’s. Just takes a few minutes to get everything installed and running.

Software Collections is RH's answer to "new software" on "stable distributions" -- SCLs operate side-by-side with system packages, so it won't break anything. Since you're a CentOS 6.7 user, the standard SCL should work (it's 6.5+). I really disliked the SCLs when I looked at it. The supported use-case seems to be a kind of hugely over-engineered set of wrapper/environment setup scripts: scl enable python2.7 pip install blah ...ad infinitum. Personally - and I guess for others as well - the SCLs will be off-putting. It's a shame there isn't a simpler solution, namely EPEL python2.7 - having a 2nd python in a different path is quite safe, we do it routinely. It's hugely annoying that RHEL6 and derivatives missed out on Python 2.7 :o( _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com <mailto:Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com> http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python -- Raymond Cote, President voice: +1.603.924.6079 email: rgac...@appropriatesolutions.com skype: ray.cote _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
