I don't think it will be backported, because the one from testing works fine on stable: #v+ [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/testing.list ] || \ echo 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/testing.list [ -f /etc/apt/preferences.d/testing ] || cat > /etc/apt/preferences.d/testing << EOF Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 450 EOF apt-get update apt-get install python3.2 python3.1- apt-get install python2.7 -t testing #v- if you want your system to know that 2.7 is supported (f.e. if you want to rebuild packages over there with Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 support, but without Python 2.5) run this: # apt-get install python-all -t testing you will still need to rebuild packages to have full Python 2.7 support (except the ones with pure Python modules that use python-support or python-central) -- 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".
