I want to install python2.5.5 in Ubuntu10.10, since Ubuntu10.10 now just supports python>=2.6, so I download source file from python website and try to install it use
./configure && make && sudo make install, it seems that python2.5.5 has been installed successfully, but when I want to use it, sometimes it says “no module named …”, but it should be bundled, I have used it in my Win7, so I wonder whether I can install all the libs.

    Here’s the post that might help:

    Don’t know which library you are missing, but you would probably be able to install it with easy_install:

    You would have to set up python2.5 as the default python by putting it in front of python2.6 in the PATH. Note that this has to be on the sudo level, as you would need to sudo easy_install. That is, sudo python should run Python 2.5 before you try to install easy_install. It’s a bit messy, but after this you should have all up and running properly.
