There's pretty much no good reason these days to be using python 2.6 (which was released in *2008*). I assume you're using it because you're using redhat or some redhat derivative, and that's what they ship by default? Even redhat engineers officially recommend that users *not* use the default python -- it's basically only intended for use by their own built-in system management scripts. If you're just getting started with python, then at this point I'd recommend starting with python 3.4. Some easy ways to get this installed: - Anaconda: the most popular scientific python distribution -- you pretty much just download one file and get a full, up to date setup of python and all the main scientific packages, in your home directory. Supported on all popular platforms. Trivial to use and requires no special permissions. http://continuum.io/downloads#py34 - One of Anaconda's competitors: http://www.scipy.org/install.html - Software collections: redhat's official way to do things like this: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/ -n
