Seems people want to go down this hellish road for some reason I have
yet to understand.
Messing with python can make your system angry and can affect many
other packages like rpm and yum, so proceed with caution and backups.
You can use pyvault if you absolutely need updated python packages, or
you may want to consider building in /opt/ so as not to conflict with
current system packages. Of the two, I think pyvault may be the safer
option, but have backups anyway. Have I stressed the point about
backups?
