Floris, I thnk that Roberto was asking about Python(x,y) rather than version x.y of a standard Python install. Python(x,y) is a package of Python plus various tools and libraries for science and engineering: http://www.pythonxy.com/ There is a Ubuntu package for it, which I have not tested on Debian 5. This site has a list of the packages you could install to get the same basic functionality as Python(x,y): http://groups.google.fr/group/pythonxy-linux/web/pythonxy-linux-packages-list Regards, Graeme -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
