Well, one of the things RHEL gets you is platform stability (they backport fixes; primarily security in the older RHEL streams). So of course the Python dates to the time of the release. I install a current Python 2.7 into /usr/local on many RHEL boxes and target that for custom code. -- Cameron Simpson <[email protected]> There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
