I did the "make altinstall" rather than the "make install" as suggested on http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/ This worked great, creating a /usr/local/bin/python2.5 which doesn't clash with my /usr/bin/python. However, it also created a /usr/local/bin/pydoc which did clash with my /usr/bin/pydoc. I just removed it and all is well. Should altinstall not create pydoc? It could create pydoc2.5 rather than pydoc, but then the shebang line would have to be changed to python2.5. What about smtpd.py, idle, and python-config, which were also created by altinstall? They don't currently conflict with anything I have for Python 2.4, but the potential is there for the same problem.
