Actually, compiling one's own python is not even straightforward on the latest 2.7 on Ubuntu 12.04, where Setup.dist has to be edited to enable SSL and look for libraries in /usr instead of /usr/local/ssl. Python 2.6 on the Ubuntu 12.04 also needs an #ifndef patch to _ssl.c which is even harder to guess or look info for. The docs might mention that if a user fails to build python on a given platform, he might try with a newer release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
