Preparing

Download the python 2.3 sourcecode tarball (www.python.org)
Upload the file to your server using FTP
Copy the file to the /root directory

Compiling

type cp /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python.backup to create a
backup copy of your current python, so you can roll back if things go wrong.
(550 has standard version 2.0)
type; cd /root
type; tar -xvzf Python-2.3.tar to uncompress and unpack the archive
type cd Python2-3
type; ./configure
type; ./make     to build the actual programms
type; make install  to move files into place (replacing your current
version)


I noticed no side effects, BUT i only use python for one single application.

Bob.
