  for the purposes of testing python-3.1, i downloaded and built from
the Python-3.1b1.tar.bz2 tarball, and installed (by default) in
/usr/local/bin and it seems to co-exist nicely next to the standard
2.6.

  the only build issue was that i wanted tkinter and it wasn't located
during the configure step -- i'm assuming the already-installed
tkinter-2.6 is not sufficient, so if someone wants to suggest how to
get tkinter in there (probably from newer tarball, i'm guessing), that
would be useful.  thanks.
