[Tutor] newbie - python update on Mandrake 9.0?

[Lance]

re my earlier question....

I installed the latest Python to /home/myname.... but wasn't sure how to
modify the paths in profile or bashrc. Hence, typing Python started the one
that came with Mandrake, not the latest Python.

Also.... I was confused because the Python that ships with Mandrake doesn't
have all the directories of the latest release.

Thanks,
Lance
