If I rebuild Python will it break my Django installation?

Question

Recently I was told I should rebuild Python 2.7.2 in order to get the Python interpreter behaving correctly as it's been acting strange lately.

If I rebuild Python will it break my Django installation and other eggs in the site-packages dir?

Answer 1

Django itself uses no C modules, so rebuilding Python will not affect it. Third-party apps that do have C modules may be affected though, so make sure to test them after rebuilding.

Answer 2

I suggest you using Virtualenv for your work
