Re: Trouble installing psycopg2

I think Python 2.4 was installed with the OS. I installed Python 2.7 from
an .egg file that I downloaded. I'm a bit new to this terminology, so not
sure if that considered Centos package management.

I think you're right about Python2.4 being set as the default. Does anyone
know how to persuade it otherwise for installation purposes?

Thanks.
