python2.7是2.X的最后一个版本，同时她也加入了一部分3.X的新特性。并且具有更好的性能，修改多个bug。所以决定升级到最新的2.7版，我的目前的版本是2.4.3
查看当前python版本
[root@jb51.cc ~]# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1,Sep 3 2009,15:37:37)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
Type "help","copyright","credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
# End www.jb51.cc
1.最新版本python下载安装
下载新版本的python
[root@jb51.cc ~]# wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.8/Python-2.7.8.tgz
# End www.jb51.cc
解压缩 以及编译
[root@jb51.cc ~]# tar xvf Python-2.7.8.tar.bz2
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python27
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# make
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# make install
# End www.jb51.cc
最新2.7.8版本的python已经安装到了系统中，但是还没有完成
再次查看python版本，发现依然是2.4.3版本
[root@jb51.cc ~]# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1,"credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
# End www.jb51.cc
2. python多版本共存解决
下面我们来解决这个问题
把原来的python重命名成python_old，注意不要删除它，还有用，下面会说到
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python_old
# End www.jb51.cc
建立新的python的软链接
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# ln -s /usr/local/python27/bin/python /usr/bin/
# End www.jb51.cc
这时候我们再查看一下版本，发现正常啦！
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# python
Python 2.7.8 (default,Dec 3 2014,10:51:34)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)] on linux2
Type "help","credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
# End www.jb51.cc
至此我们已经可以正常使用python2.7
3.解决yum的python版本问题
但是我们还有最后一个问题要解决
但是因为yum是使用的python2.4的版本，所以 还需要修改一下（前面我们重命名的python_old现在派上用场啦）
[root@jb51.cc ~]# yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
Please install a package which provides this module,or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python,which is:
Python 2.7.8 (default,10:51:34)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)] on linux2
If you cannot solve this problem yourself,please go to
the yum faq at:

# End www.jb51.cc
[root@jb51.cc Python-2.7.8]# vim /usr/bin/yum
#!/usr/bin/python #修改此处为2.4的位置
[root@jb51.cc ~]# vim /usr/bin/yum
