Hi Tshepang,
I did as you said.
Here's what happened.
$ aptitude show python

Description: interactive high-level object-oriented language (default
version)
Python, the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an
extensive class library with lots of goodies for
network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
Python version (currently v2.6).

$ which /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python
$ ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-07-10 11:46 /usr/bin/python -> python2.5
Maybe you agree that my version of python is too
old for wajig.
What would you think of changing the wajig
package to depend on python >=2.6?
