Generally speaking, you should never directly update the system Python; most Linux systems these days rely on Python for their operation. Instead, you install an additional copy of Python, and you cannot use your OS package management to install modules; just install the modules manually. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." --Red Adair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
