Upgrading 2.4.1 to 2.4.2

[Vincent Gulinao]

Hi, I'm new to python and just upgraded python on my system from 2.3 to 2.4.
My platform is Linux-2.6.9-1.667smp-i686-with-redhat-3-Heidelberg.

Is there any way to inherit (share?) all extensions and additional modules
the my 2.3 have? (of course, beside re-installing everything)
