CentOS - Oct 2010 - upgrade python to python2.6.4 using yum

Hi

How would i upgrade python to python2.6.4 using a yum repository ( on all my
servers ) and cause manual configuration is time consuming, i am using cent
OS 5.4 32 bit

Is there an already available repository to do this.?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had tried to install it using contemporary method ( ./configure ; make
;make install) .. but i get the following error when trying to upgrade .

make

ar cr libpython2.6.a Modules/threadmodule.o  Modules/signalmodule.o
Modules/posixmodule.o  Modules/errnomodule.o  Modules/pwdmodule.o

ranlib libpython2.6.a

running build
running build_ext

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
bsddb185           sunaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the
module's name.

running build_scripts

================================================================
any reference / tips will be of great help

Hi

Python26 is available from EPEL repository:
python26-2.6.5-3.el5

mg.

> Is there an already available repository to do this.?
The EPEL repository has a python26 package that you can install in
parallel of base python.

You can then also use python-virtualenv (also in EPEL) to add the
Python modules you would need:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python26 /path/to/your/virtualenv/dir
