[Tutor] Paranoid Question

[Norvell Spearman]

Until Mandrake releases rpms of Python-2.3, I thought I'd try it out but
don't want it conflicting with version 2.2.2---or rather, with any
system-related scripts which depend on v2.2.2.  After downloading and
untarballing v2.3, I did the following:

    ./configure --prefix=/home/norvell/python
    make test
    make install

So as long as I run idle from /home/norvell/python/bin/idle---and as
long as I keep the #! line consistent with the prefix in any
scripts---there should be no conflicts with the old version, right?

Thanks for any answers.
