As far as i know. python binary is always the default python interpreter which points to one of the supported version and by default it points (symlink) to python2.5 in lenny (I think). the pythonX.Y are actually real binaries. If you are not convineced I gues you should $apt-get source python and study the packaging. -- With best regards Dmitrijs Ledkovs (for short Dima), Ледков Дмитрий Юрьевич -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
