upgrading python/redhat

[David Bear]

uh, last time I upgraded python on a redhat machine, I broke a lot of
scripts that redhat included -- things that deal with the printer
setup.

you may want to grab python and install from source into something
like /usr/local/python234 -- and then set a pythonhome environment in
your shell. That way you can keep the stock python upon which there
may be many redhat dependancies, and get the python you want.
