Red Hat used to use a single copy of Python for both the system utilities and user programs. That held back the Python version for years because the system utilities depended on the older version. Then I believe they went to a separate mini-Python for system utilities, isolated from the user Python. Mario may be right, and you may have to restore the Python version yum is happy with. You didn't say how you installed Python 2.6, or whether there were any errors during installation. Did you use an RPM that's been tested with your version of Red Hat? Did you compile it to /usr? Your best bet is to use an RPM certified for your distro version, or compile to /usr/local . -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
