    a twisted question

    Hi All,
    I have got a bit of a complicated situation here:
    I need to get buildBot (and hence twisted) running on RH 7.1, which
    currently has python 1.5 installed. From browsing newsgroups it appears that
    I cannot overwritte 1.5 due to some RH scripts relying on that version. So:
    1) can twisted run on 1.5? I could not find this info in the docs.
    2) if not, can it run on parallel-installed later version?
    3) if so, could someone give me a hint on installing a parallel version?

    thanks,
    max.

      Current Twisted requires Python 2.2 (it also works with 2.3).

      Sure, although I don't know the details of doing this under Red Hat 7.1.

      Failing all else, you could download the latest 2.2 (or 2.3) source tarball
      from python.org, and compile and install it to /usr/local, but then you
      don't get the benefit of RH's package managment...

          On my RH boxes, the distro's Python pkg is installed in /usr/bin/
          however, when you download and install the latest stable Python (2.3),
          it should install into /usr/local/bin/. This setup works for me. I used
          it for testing when I needed 2.3b2 functionality w/o problem.

              ok,
              1) thanks
              2) status update:
              I successfully installed 2.2.3 as a parallel install. it is mapped to
              python2 on my system. How do I induce Twisted to work off of that copy?
              thanks,
              max.
