Python

Installing using yum, the python package provides the base language, python-tools and python-debug the development environment while PyQt4-* packages are Python bindings for Qt4.

This software is distributed in two modes:

as compressed package that you have to download and manually install; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too;
as RPM package; you can install it using your favorite rpm package manager, that will take care to download and install both the software and its prerequisites.

Choose the installation mode that you prefer. Please note that not all the versions are available in both the installation modes.
