Installing Django With Python 2.5 And Not With The Default Version Of Python

I have to install Django on my linux server where python 2.4 is available as the default installation. I have installed python 2.5 as a separate version. Now I have to install Djan

Solution 1:

after downloading the django source, instead of doing

python setup.py install

do

/path/to/python2.5 setup.py install

Solution 2:

Django is 100% compatible with Python 2.4. However if you really want to use 2.5 you would probably be best off using a virtualenv and installing Django and your project inside that.

Don't forget if you do try and install 2.5, you will also need to recompile mod_wsgi to use it, as the system packaged version will only use 2.4.
