Any package that has a binary extension in it will necessarily have to be compiled for a specific Python version. Quite a few of the most useful Python add-ons are in this category, so they would have to transition to Python 2.0 in the same manner that a normal application transitions to new versions of the libraries it depends on. For things which are truly independent of the Python version, there is /usr/lib/site-python. While python-base does not appear to create this directory, it is part of the default sys.path (in the current 1.5.2 packages) and there are at least two packages (reportbug and dpkg-python) which live there. --Rob -- Rob Tillotson N9MTB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
