Python-2.7.2

[aryr100]

Could anyone help me with this
What is the package order for rebuild so that I can upgrade python to 2.7.2

Everything you need for building python should be there already. But what do you need python 2.7.2 for? Are you aware that you're going to break a lot of stuff if you upgrade python?

Thx for replay
Yes I know that many packages will be broken
that is why I'm asking for a little help with the
list &
order
of the packages that need to be rebuild against the new python
I need this version of python for a class I'm taken I don't want to use some other distro just for python

You can install multiple versions of Python on your system.

You can do it a bit like like this:

Code: Select all

cd ~/NewPython
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2
tar xf Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2
rm Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2
cd Python-2.7.2/
./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.7.2
make
make install
ln -s /opt/python2.7.2/bin/python2.7.2 /usr/bin/python2.7.2

And don't forget to adjust the new shebang in your script when you want to use that version.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python2.7.2

You can also use the Slackbuild (change the install path) to build a slackware package for an easier management:
