CentOS

I'm seeing all kinds of conflicting info on getting Python 2.7 installed on CentOS 6. I've installed all the 2.7 packages from centos-sclo-rh. Now how do I enable them?

Using the scl command

Thanks.

Now that I've reacquainted myself with SCL, how do I install Protobuf under Python27?

I've tried compiling and installing the source.
I've tried installing the RPM that's available.
I've tried 'pip install' on this source: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/protobuf/2.6.1

Does anyone have any idea how to get protobuf installed in /opt/rh/python27?

I think I have that fixed. Now how about qt4. It's installed and working under the default Python 2.6. How do I get it installed under 2.7?

pip install PyQt
pip install PyQt4

do not work.

Well no I don't have this working. As root I get:

Error: Could not import PyQt4 on Linux systems, you may try 'sudo apt-get install python-qt4'

As a regular user I still get errors for protobuf.
