From Chris:

python2.6 is available in epel, so it should be simple. I've hit the "In order to install package foo, you need package bar".

I'm sure this is a simple thing to do if I actually read the instructions, but for those of us who can't be bothered, a single tarball that just worked would be nice.

Ideally one that could install in my homespace for testing purposes.

From liw:

I think that might be workable. It's almost all pure Python, and can be run directly from the source directories, so a tarball with all the source projects included, plus a little script to set up PATH and PYTHONPATH would work.

I've been thinking about this, and I'm afraid I don't want to put in the effort to do this. Installation is a bit of a bother, but having packages for the main Linux distros seems like the best way to solve this. done --liw
