It creates a handful of RPMs that have to be installed, they are just the
python 2.4 RPMs patched to build python 2.6 versions. They install
alongside the existing python2.4 RPMs and should not interfere with them.

hey Matt, just to ensure i'm clear, after the rebuild do you just need to
install the rpm-python26 rpm or does it create rebuilt versions of the yum
and rpm distributions as well that all need to also be updated.
if it's only rpm-python then I may give your build a shot, but I tried a
bunch
hi Steve. the python interpreter is not the issue. I am using python 2.6
without issues, the issue is the dependency on the rpm-python os package
(python library). I cannot find/install this for centos5. the "rpm"
library is not part of the standard python distro, it's an extra library.
I did some experimenting with this about a year ago. I have a repo that
has a playbook that can build the packages for EL5 using python2.6 from
EPEL.
NOTE: I don't necessarily recommend this, it was an experiment to see if it
could be done

If you can install a newer python on the machines you should be able
to manage them by setting the inventory variable
"ansible_python_interpreter" for them to the path of the alternate
python interpreter.
