Installing Python on a 64-Bit OS

[Nico Grubert]

Hi there,

I'd like to install Python 2.3.5. on a 64-Bit OS (Suse Linux Enterprise 
Server 10) on an AMD Opteron 64-Bit machine.
I have to use Python 2.3.5.

Do I need a special source archive or can I use "Python-2.3.5.tgz" from 
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.5/Python-2.3.5.tgz ?

Is there anything special I have to care about or is installing Python 
on a 64 Bit OS just as easy as installing it on a 32-Bit OS?

Regards,
Nico
