Installing Python

chadr6 · #1 2nd February 2005, 01:55 AM

I have Python 2.3 on my Fedora Core 3 installation, but want to upgrade to Python 2.4, I can't seem to get it to work, I've tried using RPM and yum, but i can't get it. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to get it. The 2.4 release is in the Fedora development branch, which is accessible here. there are likely to be numerous dependencies, so if you want to upgrade to Python 2.4, create the following file (if you don't already have it):

/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo

Code:

[development]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide
enabled=0

Then, to update Python, issue the command:

yum --enablerepo=development update python
