Is there a Python Version Manager?
Having STFW and come up empty, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is an analogue to the Ruby Version Manager http:// rvm.beginrescueend.com/ in the Python world? rvm is essentially a tool that can install several Ruby implementations side by side and easily hot swap them in your shell session. Check a few pages of their website and you will get the idea. In the python world, the closest I have seen to rvm, are tools that just archive a (C)Python distribution around your project. Not what I need. Why I ask, is after years of using systems that package *modern* versions of Python, I'm now stuck with a work station running 2.4 as latest and greatest! Personally I draw the line at supporting 2.6, 3.1, and otherwise YMMV -- that means building and maintaining my own builds outside the OS'es package management is going to become a reality real soon, not to mention a pain. So something like rvm but for Python, would be a real life saver in my near future. and if writing a Python analogue to rvm is necessary, would anyone be interested in helping with such a project? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
