centos5.5 下安装python2.7.2

查看centos5.5默认python版本

[root@Django ~]# python

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:12)

[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2

下载python2.7.2

[root@Django ~]# wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz
安装python2.7.2

[root@Django ~]# tar xvf Python-2.7.2.tgz
[root@Django ~]# cd Python-2.7.2
[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# ./configure
[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# make && make install

python2.7 默认安装在/usr/local/lib/python2.7

查看安装的python2.7

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# /usr/local/bin/python

Python 2.7.2 (default, Apr 5 2012, 14:37:00)

[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2

>>>

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# /usr/local/bin/python -V

Python 2.7.2

这个时候系统默认的python还是

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# python

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:12)

[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2

修改系统默认的python（为什么不删除默认的python呢，这是因为yum是基于2.4.3的）

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python.bak

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python

这个时候我们修改了系统默认的python 版本为2.7 但是yum 是基于2.4的，如果这个时候你使用yum服务是会出错的

恢复不能使用的yum yum-update

[root@Django Python-2.7.2]# vi /usr/bin/yum

[root@mysqlnode2 ~]# vim /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd

将首行显示的 !#/usr/bin/python 修改为 !#/usr/bin/python2.4

为了后续方便软件的安装，需要使用easy_install ,则需要安装Setuptools模块
