Install Python 2.6 in CentOS 6.5
I am a new user of Cent OS 6.5, I want to install Python and after I searched the google, for 6.5, Python 2.6 is preferable, would anyone can tell me how to install Python 2.6, really thanks!
Re: Install Python 2.6 in CentOS 6.5
Don't install 6.5 as it is 4 years old and riddled with security vulnerabilities along with dozens of other known and already fixed bugs. Use 6.9 which is the latest CentOS 6. All CentOS 6 versions include python 2.6.6 which is the system python and must not be changed as lots of utilities depend on the exact version as shipped. It's installed by default since yum is written in it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi, thanks very much, I have checked the version of my default Python, which is 2.7.13. I guess I may start learning that language first, up to now there is no big deal if I use the latested version of Python, right? How do you think?

If you have python 2.7.13 then you do not have a CentOS system.
