Buildout for Python.
This buildout installs fresh and clean Python versions on your computer.
If you use Debian-Linux, install the necessary packages first. For other OSes do something similar:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libjpeg-dev
Then bootstrap the buildout with your system's python version:
$ python bootstrap.py
To install all versions, type:
$ ./bin/buildout
To install a specific Python version, e.g. Python 2.6, type:
$ ./bin/buildout -c buildout2.6.cfg
There will be links to the Python executables in the buildout's bin directory.
