(i just asked about this on the test list but it seems that it's equally appropriate here.) any problems with installing python-3.1.1 side-by-side on a fedora 11 system, and having programmers invoke it with an explicit reference to "python3"? just for fun, i grabbed : http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.1.1/Python-3.1.1.tar.bz2 unloaded it under my home directory, found out quickly that i needed to install tk-devel, tcl-devel and libsqlite3x-devel, did that, then -- following the README -- ran $ ./configure $ make $ make test the only glitches were, during the test step, the occasional diagnostic that a test was being skipped because some resource wasn't enabled, such as: ... test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_cn skipped -- Use of the `urlfetch' resource not enabled ... beyond that, things seemed to work, after which i'd normally run # make install if anyone else has gone down this road, any warnings? and any hint as to how to get that 'urlfetch' resource? there doesn't appear to be anything in the configure step that enables or disables that, and that diagnostic shows up several times, albeit not fatally. in any event, can installing python-3.1.1 like this cause any grief with the current system? it's mostly for people who want to start programming in python, and it seems to make sense to start them off with python 3. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
