In general I think what you're experiencing is not really linux's fault. Window's doesn't use Python, so it's easy to install different version without impacting the system. Linux, or at least Ubuntu, uses Python extensively, so if you want to test different versions you need to use some sort of isolation technology like virtualenv or Virtual Box. virtualenv is specifically for python and much lighter the Virtual Box in this case. If you wanted to test different versions of Window's core C runtime DLLs you could easily end up in the kind of mess you've encountered with Ubuntu. I don't think we want to discourage OSes from using Python just so it's easier to test different python versions :-} Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
