在哪里安装了第二个Python版本？

Question

I have a cpanel server with python 2.6.6 by default.

root@vps [~]# python --version
Python 2.6.6
root@vps [~]#

However, I also have Zope 2.9.5 installed which is running on an earlier version of Python. This is the info from the Zope admin page:

Zope Version

I am trying to setup a new cpanel server with EXACTLY the same setup regarding Zope and Python. I do have the source for both Zope 2.9.5 as well as the source for Python 2.4.3. I am not sure where to install Python 2.4.3 though. Is there a command that will show me other python locations? which python shows me the default Python location.

I don't know Zope, but it looks like you're in Unix, so if you installed Python through apt, dnf, etc...:

• The symbolic link to Python is usually installed in /usr/bin . If you search by "python" in that folder you should find all the python available for you.

• If you are looking for the headers in /usr/include you should have a folder for each version of Python installed.

And you say: "I am not sure where to install Python 2.4.3 though".

If you're installing Python from source it will be installed in your local folder: /usr/local/bin (for symbolic link) and /usr/local/include for headers. Also, make sure to enable symbolic links when compiling. If I'm not wrong in the ./configure step, you can use ./configure --enable-shared to make sure that when you compile the source code it will installs you a symbolic link for that version in you /usr/local/bin
