Hello Garey,

As your Redhat system depends a lot on your Python 2.4 installations the Python 2.6 package are Parallel Installed packages:

http://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuide#Package_Types

What this means is you will install python26 next to the default Python 2.4 packages and not uninstall Python 2.4.

Let us know if you have any questions.

I have a RedHat RHEL 5 installation, and I would like to update the
Python to 2.6. However, when I go to erase the current Python (2.4), yum
wants to erase some 396 packages. What is the process I should follow to
upgrade the Python, or is it more common to install Python2.6 parallel
to the supplied Python?
