Tarek, I would first check and see if fedora offers python for a 64-bit environment. If so, it would be easier to get python up and running quickly. I haven't used any redhat deviant in a while, but I think the command should be: yum search python. This should bring up a list of packages that are installable. The rest should be simple as: yum install <package name>. I hope this helps. - Jonathan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
