The usual way to support multiple micro versions is to build and install to a different location on your system by using: ./configure --prefix=/new/path There is nothing magical about /usr/local or /usr other than that /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin are usually included in default $PATH. If you use a non-default prefix, it's also probably best to avoid using --enable-shared to minimize the chances of confusion with shared library loading. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
