This is only tangentially on topic, I hope it's OK to ask.

I've got Redhat 7.0, which includes python-1.5.2-27.  I downloaded and
installed BeOpen-Python-2.0-1.  Is it possible/advisable to get rid of
the old version with '--nodeps' or something.  Or will this break the
dependencies?  It seems to be a waste of disk space, as well as a bit
cluttered and confusing to keep both versions, but I don't want to
break my system.  Thanks.
