Ah, old skool. I have seen that before now that you mention it. Thanks
for the correction.
I knew I didn't have all the answers, but felt that I'd try some pig
wrestling anyway.

Yeah. I know that particular one because I have l aliased to ls -CF
(aka --columns --classify), mainly because it came that way as a
commented-out entry in my first Debian. Have since become quite
accustomed to it; to me, 'l' means 'look' (I do love my MUDs), so I'm
considering aliasing 'gl' to 'pwd' so that I can 'glance' too :)

Hmm. What other MUD commands have obvious Unix equivalents?

say --> echo
emote --> python -c
attack --> sudo rm -f

I don't use an explicit 'go' though, I usually just type 'n' to go
north, or 'booth1' to go booth1. Unfortunately that doesn't translate
well into a simple alias :)

Hey, if you like MUDs, why not come play D&D with us? minstrelhall.com

What shell do you use? Zsh supports this (implicit cd). I don't have
it active because it's not that useful - you get better completion
with explicit cd - but it exists.

To carry on with the animal analogy, the OP appears to me a very 
dangerous combination of headless chicken and bull in a china shop.

Python 2.6 is required for CentOS to function.  You simply cannot remove
it.  You can't replace it with 2.7 either.  You can install 2.7
alongside it if you want (seems like you have).

If you're not using it, and if yum isn't going to remove anything else
that has it as a dependency, then go ahead.

On the other hand, there's really not much harm in leaving it.  Python
2.6 is already your default Python.

Is this the same system where you recently spent a lot of time
upgrading your web scripts to Python 3?

Yes, its the same system but it reports python 4 times.
I just hate seeing this:

root@nikos [~]# which python 
/usr/bin/python 
root@nikos [~]# which python2 
/usr/bin/python2 
root@nikos [~]# which python3 
/root/.local/lib/python2.7/bin/python3 
root@nikos [~]# which python3.3 
/root/.local/lib/python2.7/bin/python3.3 
root@nikos [~]# 

and this too:

Do not "Yum Remove Python" as you suggest this will remove vital system 
tools.

I have both Python 2.7 & python3 (Python 3.3) on my Fedora system with no 
problems so i would not worry

	I'd be concerned that those 3/3.3 entries are showing up in a 2.7
installation directory!

	Other than that, I'd see if some of those of softlinks (or even
hardlinks) to another... That is: /usr/bin/python maybe links to your
python3.3, and your python3 also links to the python3.3 -- meaning you
really only have one Python in the 3.x branch (you didn't check for 2.x)

Thats exactly my thoughts.
Can you please tell me HOW TO GET RID OF ALL PYTHON SETUPS except 2.6 that is needed for system core and then just install 3.3.2?

also why cant i install 3.3.2  using yum. if i could instead of building from source then i wouldn't have this installed mess but i could simply
yum remove python*

Nuke the hard drive from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

That would require that the repo have a 3.3.2 build in it. I don't
know the Red Hat / CentOS policies there, but I know Debian stable
wouldn't have anything so new - it takes time to test things.

I asked Google:

  extra yum repositories for centos

and it pointed me at:

  http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

Probably one of these has Python 3. Or build it from source; it's not hard.

No. Just sort it out on CentOS. Try the extra repos. Get Python 3
from one (I'm not sure why you think your current Python 3 install
is a problem anyway, though).

You're already slightly familiar with CentOS. Switching distros
will just cause more pain. Fix your actual problems first.

This is not a recommendation one way or another re CentOS versus
Ubunutu; it is a recommendation not to change without a better reason.

Agreed. I happen to like Debian-family Linuxes, having spent most of
my Linux time on either Ubuntu or Debian (and am now happy with Debian
Wheezy on most of my computers), but there's really no point jumping
ship randomly. I'm saying this for the archive only, though. Nikos
just needs to learn the skill of figuring out where his problems
really are.
