[Tutor] install python without root access

The easiest way will be to get in contact with the SysAdmin and tell him why you need python upgrade.
He can allocate both version for you.

Subject: [Tutor] install python without root access

Hi,

I have a Centos06 based machine and I don't have root access. The default Python (GCC compiler based) is quite old 2.7.5 , so I need to update it. I tried installing in local folder where i have access.

I am facing deep troubles installing

1. as i try to run ./configure i face configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH. I tried to install gcc but its installation also require some c compiler which is not seem to be present. I can't even do yum install gcc without root access.

2. I tried it on another machine where atleast I had gcc compiler but here after make install i can invoke latest python by running ./python-2.7.11, i am wondering how can i suppress default python without using virtual env.
Though this is not so serious as the first problem but still i would like to know the way.

Could I please be helped?

Thanks and Regards,
Anshu
