  Yes, my server currently has both python 2.6 and 2.7.

   

  Nope. I changed the softlink to python to point to python 2.7. So,

   

   

  $ python -V

  Python 2.7.2

   

  The link is pointing to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/

   

  The server runs RHEL 6 on which web2py was installed using the script that was posted on

    and are you getting web2py to run with 2.6?

    I think you need to rebuild wsgi to take advantage of Python 2.7 $yum install httpd-devel

    Or take the same slice[1] and change all 2.6 to 2.7 in there

  web2py runs out of the box with Python from 2.5 to 2.7.2.

   

  if you installed a new Python on your server you should have two binnaries python2.6 and python2.7, you can try it testing $python2.7 from terminal.

  maybe in your system the alias "python" is pointing to python2.6 and you can check running $python -V, if you want the 2.7 to be dafault you have to make the alias to point to python2.7

   

  But it depends on your host configuration, what os? what provider?

   

  run #ln -l /user/bin/python to see which python is running by default.
