If you plan to use printconf, you need to keep python-1.5.2. You also need
to be careful installing the PyXML 0.7 that is required with Python 2.1 to
run gnue.
Printconf is a printer configuration tool that is new with RedHat 7.2.
There may be other RedHat 7.2 tools that also use Python 1.5.2.
When I installed PyXML 0.7, I made the mistake of doing it as either "rpm
-Uvh" or "rpm -Fvh". That caused it to uninstall the PyXML 0.66 (?) that
came with RedHat 7.2.
I then started getting a Python traceback during the bootup when it got to
starting lpd. The message involved not being able to import pyexpat. It
turned out that /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xml/utils/qp_xml.py had
been deleted on the uninstall. The final part of the message said "No
printers defined".
I deleted PyXML 0.7 and reinstalled both PyXML 0.66 and 0.7, using "rpm
-ivh". That got rid of the boot sequence traceback and the problems I
previously had running gnue.
BTW, the rpm's install python 2.1.2 in /usr/lib/python2.1, and PyXML 0.7 in
/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages. Python 1.5.2 and the PyXML 0.66 install
in /usr/lib/python1.5 and /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages, respectively.
