# If you have a previous version of Python installed that you don't
# want to overwrite, you can use "make altinstall" instead of "make
# install". This changes the install procedure so it installs the
# Python binary as "python<version>". The libraries and include files
# are always installed in a subdirectory called "python<version>".
# "make altinstall" does not install the manual page. If you want to
# make this installation the "official" installation but want to keep
# the old binary around "just in case", rename the installed python
# binary to "python<oldversion>" before running "make install".
# (This only works between different versions, e.g. 1.3 and 1.4 --
# different betas of the same version will overwrite each other in
# installation unless you override the VERSION Make variable.)
#
# In fact, "make install" or "make bininstall" installs the binary
# as python<version> and makes a hard link to python, so when
# installing a new version in the future, nothing of the current
# version will be lost (except for the man page).
