Two Python Version conflict in Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 issue: ImportError: No module -

i installed python 2.7.5 using make install not altinstall

previously 2.7.2+

now when run python gives

importerror: cannot import name maxrepeat 

i know there entries related here. dont have virtualenv installed neither did have before.

if run python2.7 runs perfectly. when trying import library mysqldb says module doesnt exist. installed before installing python2.7.

what solution? should uninstall whole python or rather how should uninstall python2.7.5 or should keep that? if keep how can import modules?

** latest update**

me@me:/usr/local/bin$ dir python2* python2  python2-config  python2.7  python2.7-config 

and:

would reinstalling solve problem of getting , running default 2.7.2+ in ubuntu back?: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/python-defaults/2.7.2-7ubuntu2

* prior update*

now can run python bash

here new problem. , every module install using pip.

existing modules lib can imported newly installed ones cant be:

me:~$ sudo pip install requests downloading/unpacking requests   downloading requests-1.2.3.tar.gz (348kb): 348kb downloaded   running setup.py egg_info package requests  installing collected packages: requests   running setup.py install requests  installed requests cleaning up... me:~$ python -i python 2.7.5 (default, jul 17 2013, 20:16:12) [gcc 4.6.1] on linux2 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. >>> import requests traceback (most recent call last):   file "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> importerror: no module named requests >>> 

after checking version of python running locally, conflict issues:

me:~$ python python 2.7.5 (default, jul 17 2013, 20:16:12) [gcc 4.6.1] on linux2 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. >>> exit() me:~$ sudo python [sudo] password me: python 2.7.5 (default, jul 17 2013, 20:16:12) [gcc 4.6.1] on linux2 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. >>> exit() me:~$ python /usr/local/bin/python me:~$ sudo python /usr/local/bin/python me:~$ sudo python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python2.7 me:~$ python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python2.7 

i think running same. , then..

me:/usr/local/bin$ dir python2.7 python2.7 me:/usr/local/bin$ cd /usr/bin me:/usr/bin$ dir python2.7 python2.7  me:/bin$ cd /usr/bin me:/usr/bin$ dir python python  me:/usr/local/bin$ dir python python me:/usr/local/bin$ dir python2.7 python2.7 

also check following:

~$ pip /usr/local/bin/pip 

ok installed virtualenv , did

(foldername)me@me:~/caller$ sudo pip install requests requirement satisfied (use --upgrade upgrade): requests in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages cleaning up... (foldername)me@me:~/caller$ python -i python 2.7.2+ (default, jul 20 2012, 22:15:08) [gcc 4.6.1] on linux2 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. >>> 

and can see 2.7.2+ again! happening now?? wrong?

uninstalling older python linux not recommended. how can run virtualenv 2.7.5 on , not 2.7.2+ ?!

when installing python use following steps
using prefix specify installation directory

 ./configure --prefix=/scratch/bin/  make  sudo make install 

then everytime u run new terminal u have specify

export path="$path:/scratch/bin/" 

to tell installation directory of python

this way u can use number of pythons
