Pablo, The RPM's from IUS are built in a way that they do not replace *any* system packages. They install Python 2.6 off to the side, out of the way. We run them in 24/7 production on a load balanced cluster with no problems.
Assuming they install correctly on your system (we use Centos/RHEL), then there is no reason not to use them. Regarding Coldoaldo's comments about building yourself... Why build something if it is already built and ready to install/uninstall/upgrade for your system? There is an assumption made in the context there that you either have or want the development tools on your production server. In our case, we run enough machines that we either (a) find a good package from a know provider (RHEL, Centos, EPEL, IUS, etc...) (b) build our own RPM's (not so much anymore since we identified IUS) (c) there is no C >From my perspective, you need to be able to re-build a production server *right now* in minutes. Not hours. And compiling software should not be one of those steps. I appreciate the simplicity of building mod_wsgi as pointed out by Coldaldo, but still hold that for production machines, the RPM system is much better. Thanks!
