to get the same effect, you'd have to change python-default's version in Lenny (which might not be a sane idea). It then would work only for packages that provide symlinks for Python versions you're interested in, though. >> but yes, with one small change (to workaround missing py_comple.py >> changes in Lenny's Python inter), it is possible to backport it to >> Lenny. > > dh_python2 currently generates a dependency on something like "python (>= > 2.6.5-42~)". How is that supposed to work in lenny? it's due to pycompile/pyclean scripts to use Wheezy's dh_python2 based packages in Lenny, you'd have to add dh_python2's stuff (including slightly modified pycompile and debpython.version) to Lenny's python-defaults and rebuild packages with public modules -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
