Note that the main python version that ships with CentOS is critical to normal operations, so if you want to also have a newer version of python on there then you will have to install the newer version in an alternate location and have it co-exist with the current version of python. I can not stress this too much ... CentOS absolutely will not function if you upgrade the installed python to a newer version, so make sure you know what you are doing when installing a new version alongside the old one.
