[Tutor] Too different 2.6 vs 2.7?

[Karim]

Hello Jorge,

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and get the same issue.
I installed 2.7 version manually in another place
using -prefix option. It works as long as you are
pointing to the correct bin (python2.7) and the local
lib/ installation (PYTHONPATH) from python 2.7.

Regards
Karim
