Question:
When I run python on my server I get the older 1.x version. Is it possible to use 2.x versions?
Answer:
No problem. python 2.2 is installed as:
/usr/bin/python2.2
The older version is linked in as /usr/bin/python to avoid any issues with older scripts.
Just use :
/usr/bin/python2.2
and it will run 2.2
