The 2.3.5 rpm provides list is substantially out of sync with the 2.3.4-14 provides list for CEntOS, making it impossible (for me) to use this rpm to upgrade my installation. Help?

Logged In: YES user_id=81797 The python.org RPM can't really be that specific -- it wouldn't work on other platforms or even likely older or newer versions of CentOS... python.org's RPM needs to be a bit more generic than that I think. I'd recommend either trying to get Red Hat to push up an update to 3.4.5 (which they arguably should have done as errata), or CentOS if they just haven't kept up with the RHES release. However, Red Hat hasn't been very good about updating to new minor versions of Python historicly, even though by their criteria they would seem to be eligible. Alternatively, you could take things into your own hands and get the CentOS RPM and the 2.3.5 Python source, and udpate the CentOS RPM to 2.3.5. That is probably your best option. Sean
