My problem is not installing Python, but installing wxPython in the alternative Python site-packages folder

Hi,

I have a RHEL server with Python 2.4.3 installed.
That’s the RHEL5 default.

I can install Python as an alternative to the existing installation, but
how do I install wxPython in the Python 2.7 site-packages folder and not in
the default Python installation?
Did you use a rpm package or did you call configure, make, make install?

from same creator.

Otherwise you may probably use python27 binary for executing setup.py

Example: python27 setup.py build

HTH,
Carsten

Hi Johan,

do you want to use rpm packages for the wxPython installation?

You can specify when installing wxPython not to make it the default
version of wx it is also worth looking at Gadget/Steve

Like I said the first time you asked this question, use the python you want to target when you are building wxPython. In other words, if you want to install packages that /some/prefix/bin/python2.7 will see then use /some/prefix/bin/python2.7 to run the build and install scripts.
