That would probably require write permissions to /usr/local/Python-2.7.5/lib. If you are unwilling to grant those permissions, you can suggest that they learn how to work with "virtualenvs" (http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/), which would allow them to install third-party modules locally. And, of course, they need to be saavy enough to put the new python installation on the PATH. --047d7bd76f5628871204e2585937 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi there,

I never write any Python program but as a system administrator, I'm oft= en asked to install python on Debian servers.

I just finished downloading, configuring, making and installing.

The binary is now installed in :
/usr/local/Python-2.7.5/bin/python2.7
(the path is a deliberate administrator choice).

Is that it?

What else will my users need?
They may need permission= to install third-party modules themselves. That would probably require wri= te permissions to=A0/usr/local/Python-2.7.5/lib. If you are unwilling to grant those permi= ssions, you can suggest that they learn how to work with "virtualenvs&= quot; (http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/), which would= allow them to install third-party modules locally.

And, of course, they need to be saavy enough to put the n= ew python installation on the PATH.
