Upgrade 2.2.2 to 2.3.3: Keep my old 3rd party modules or rebuild them orreinstall from scratch?

[Eduardo Bernal]

I'd like to upgrade to 2.3.3, mostly to use VPython. I have a lot of
stuff not in the standard distro,
VPython, PIL, wxPython, eGenix tools, etc. How much of this stuff can I
still use as is, i.e. just copying over the 2.2 site-lib stuff to the
2.3 site-lib stuff? What will I have to rebuild? TIA

Anything with C code (and everything you described there has C code)
needs to be rebuilt (and/or redownloaded). (Most projects have 2.3
binaries available for download already). Generally speaking, major
versions of Python (x.x releases) are binary-extension incompatible with
previous versions (x.w).

HTH,

Rebuild it all.
