- How did you install Python? - What Linux distro are you using? Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com I"m using Mandriva 2008.1. I have to tell you honestly that I'm not sure exactly how I installed Python. Originally I had installed 2.5 from RPM but 2.6 was not available for my distro (2008.1) in RPM. I downloaded something from python.org and installed. Not sure if it was tarball or zip file. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
