I am attempting to deploy django on a RHEL 5 server. My team decided
they would really like Python 2.5, instead of the 2.4 that Red Hat
supports and ships with. I installed python 2.5 to /usr/local so as
not to interfere with the system's python living at /usr/lib. Then I
downloaded the mod_python source and compiled against the new python
installation. Then I did the traditional ./configure; make; make
install (with all of the --with-python=... --with-apxs=...). At this
point I have mod_python running, and the error pages report Python
version 2.5.2. Unfortunately, the Python Executable reports itself as /
usr/bin/python. That executable is version 2.4.3. I guess my question
is, how can the version and the executable not match?
I appended some interactive sessions to (hopefully) show I am not
insane. Thanks in advance.
