Title: Can Python 2.5 Co-exist With Python 2.4?
Post by: Capn_Fish on October 16, 2007, 06:15:44 pm

I was going to install my Python package, but then remembered it didn't have all of the modules that the pdaXrom Python 2.4 package has, and so you can't run the config apps. Can you install Python 2.5 and have it exist nicely with 2.4? Otherwise, I could just compile the modules

Thanks.

Depends on the actual packaging. If properly packaged, then you could use update-alternatives for the actual python binary and have python25 is /usr/bin and this reads from /usr/lib/python2.5/*.

OK, it seems to be OK then (there's a python2.4 and a python2.5 IIRC).

Thanks.
