Maybe someone should create a wiki page to record this. Here's what I see in the Ubuntu packages. Python 3 seems only to be in the universe repositories so far. Dapper: Python 2.4.2 Hardy: Python 2.5.2 Intrepid: Python 2.5.2, 3.0~b3 (universe) Jaunty: Python 2.6.2, 3.0.1 (universe) Karmic: Python 2.6.4rc1, 3.1 (universe) Lucid: Python 2.6.4, 3.1 (universe) WTF is rc anything doing in the main repository? -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
