[Chicago] Need Python -2.4.3 help

[Yarko Tymciurak]

Harry -

Just for your reference, see - for example:

http://isezen.com/2011/09/02/how-to-install-locally-python-on-linux-home-directory/

and

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7465445/how-to-install-python-modules-without-root-access

For working out code in an area you're unfamiliar with, you might find the
autocompletion, ability to save your session, and interactivity of
http://bpython-interpreter.org/ helpful (its a shell for python).

Also, when I _had_ to deal w/ xml, I've repeatedly gravitated to lxml -
http://lxml.de/tutorial.html

Regards,
- Yarko
