Recently I was told I should rebuild Python 2.7.2 in order to get the Python interpreter behaving correctly as it's been acting strange lately.

If I rebuild Python will it break my Django installation and other eggs in the site-packages dir?

Django itself uses no C modules, so rebuilding Python will not affect it. Third-party apps that do have C modules may be affected though, so make sure to test them after rebuilding.

  • I just re compiled Python 2.7.2 and tested a Django app out and it works. I think all is well. Thanks :) –  Dec 19 '11 at 12:41

I suggest you using Virtualenv for your work

    Solid advice but not answering this specific question. – istruble Dec 17 '11 at 00:29
  • Right on I am going to start using Virtualenv as I see it is a best practice that can prevent future confusion. Thanks. –  Dec 19 '11 at 12:42
