As you can see by reading my other thread today here, I’m having some troubles upgrading Python.

At the moment I have Python 2.4 with Django installed on a CentOS machine. However I’ve recently deployed an application that requires 2.5 which has resulted in me installing that and getting into a whole load of mess. My original assumption was that I could direct Django to a different Python version, however as S.Lott informed me, I had it backwards… you attach Django to Python, not the other way round. Which means I currently have: Python 2.4 with Django and Python 2.5.

I’ve tried a few things so far to no avail. The first idea being an easy_install which would put Django onto the Python 2.5 (So I’d have 2 versions of python with seperate Djangos). Therefore I went into 2.5’s directory and did that, which then allowed me to find out that it had just reinstalls it on 2.4, not 2.5. Therefore first question is How do I direct easy_install to Python 2.5, not 2.4?

Is there no way to just hit ‘upgrade’ and for a full update to occur? I know this may be asking for much, however it just seems like so much hassle and I’m surprised I can’t find anyone else complaining. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I don’t know anything about CentOS, but if you have multiple Python version installed and you wan’t to install packages using easy_install, you just need to call it with the corresponding Python interpreter. This should install the packing into the site-package directory of Python 2.5:

    # /path/to/python-2.5 easy_install Django
