Working with multiple python installations

I had an existing installation of python2.3
But I wanted to work with the Python Graph library NetworkX  which however works only with Python2.6 and above.
Unfortunately, I didn't have sudo privileges and hence could install python only within my local directory.

The following stack overflow link turned out to be of great help in installing a newer python version and further to install NetworkX within it.

Competitive Programming

Programming a Sport ? I didn't know that until today !! I was amazed to look around and find that so many initiatives abound on the internet that aim at popularizing programming. I got started at codechef.com , then watched an amazing inspirational video http://www.codechef.com/school The getting started page launched me into a web of great resources - http://www.codechef.com/getting-started Check every link ! I met two great heros of the sport in that great journey - 'tourist' and 'petr' The latter is elder to me while the former is just 19 now. petr works for Google but is still a great force in the sport. The ACM ICPC is like the olympics of programming where teams participate. Codechef's envision's the Indian team winning some day and the Go-for-Gold section is particularly geared towards that. Codechef also has a school section. Mathewkuttan, Maxwell - what do you think ?
