Where does it say this? I've never heard of it. I always use the system Python if it's the right version, but with a virtualenv. However, it's correct that compiling Python is easy, (except on Windows where a compiler doesn't come with the OS). For Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install build-essential $ cd Python-2.7 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin $ make $ make install But I don't know what nonstandard options would be "better for web development". -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
