[SOLVED] Downgrading python / installing a previous version

Hi!

I need to install Python 2.6 (I have the package, from my other arch box), it's the newest version which works with Google App Engine SDK. The problem is, that there already exists package python2 2.7 (which is required by openoffice,  dbus-python and other cruical programs down the dependency chain) and it conflicts with the python package.

Is it possible to install Python 2.6 (i only need it for Google App Engine) without losing all the apps that depend on Python 2.7?

No...  just install python-2.6 alongside your current python package.  There is a PKGBUILD in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41809  (read the comments).
