升级python到2.6.5

今天需要安装一个软件时，发现系统的python版本太低，出现下面的错误：

File "setup.py", line 39
with open("ChangeLog", "w") as changelog_file:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

google后发现这个软件需要python2.6.5

centos5的自带python为2.4.3

下面是我升级的python的步骤

wget
tar -jxvf Python-2.6.5.tar.bz2
cd Python-2.6.5
./configure
make;make install

测试

[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# rm /usr/bin/python
rm: remove regular file `/usr/bin/python'? y
[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# ln /usr/local/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python
[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 29 2011, 12:30:49)

安装好了

不过在执行yum的时候，发现无法执行，

出现下面错误

[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# yum search apt
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 29 2011, 12:30:49)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

改回来就好了

[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# rm /usr/bin/python
rm: remove regular file `/usr/bin/python'? y
[root@UNI-HEB-1-N015-bind-006 swift-1.3.0]# ln -s /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python

这个问题暂时未解决，大家先用/usr/local/bin/python2.6执行吧
