I had that problem once, although to be fair it really does depend on
which distribution you use as to how many problems you're going to
have.

Perhaps the way to do it is to install the new Python version in
/usr/local/ (alongside the distro's version is in /usr/ ), then when
you're sure your new version is installed and working, change the
references over - perhaps it's possible to do this with just 1 symbolic
link somewhere.
