As you can see here, python2.7 is only available in experimental: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python2.7.html As we are now in the squeeze freeze period it is unlikely that python2.7 will enter squeeze: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/08/msg00000.html > For most python users (I assume) it will be of great benefit already if > just pure python without all those packages debian provides would be > available (also) in version 2.7. backports.org exists for packages needed by users of stable/squeeze that weren't yet ready for inclusion in testing/squeeze at the time of the freeze. It would probably be a good idea to use it for python3.2 and python2.7 packages once squeeze is out. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
