altinstall is a make option for Python. It allows you to run multiple versions of Python in parallel. Unfortunately, Cent OS 5.4 still ships with Python 2.4 and, since I'm building a new machine, I'm trying to make sure it's possible to upgrade it in the future. What if I have a different error, by trying a slightly different method?
This is an attempt at installing 1.6 (not 1.6.13) and not doing anything to the DB.
