[BangPypers] Running multiple versions of python on Fedora

[srid]

I do something like this in Ubuntu:

1. sudo apt-get install python2.6
2. sudo apt-get install python3.1

$ python3.1 foo3.py
$ python2.6 foo.py

You don't have to use separate script for python3. See
http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200910/running_the_same_code_on_python_2x_and_3x.html

As for installing packages (that are not in the repository), I suggest
installing them to PEP 370 style user directories (I don't use
virtualenv when there is PEP 370).

$ cd IPython-0.10.0/
$ sudo python2.6 setup.py install --user
$ which ipython
/Users/sridharr/.local/bin/ipython
$ python2.6 -c "import IPython; print IPython.__file__"
'/Users/sridharr/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/__init__.pyc'

OR

$ sudo pip install --install-option="--user" IPython

OR

$ pypm install IPython # http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.6/pypm.html
