Hello everyone.

First of all, excuseme my bad English.

I need to install python 2.6 on the computers that are already in production, to be able to access from Ansible.
There are some Solaris, Red-hat, Centos, etc, some with python 2.3 versions, in use.

What approach do you recommend me to not interfere with the applications already installed?

  • Install python withthe raw module.
  • Install manually from code or packages.
  • Can I distribute a python folder (somehow)?
  • Suggestiones …

Look at this site for Solaris. It installed python 2.6 and dependences to /opt/csw/.
