I don't think that is totally accurate or fair. There is regular participation in the python-dev group by packagers from various distros. For example, Matthias Klose is not only the primary Debian Python maintainer, he is also has commit privileges for Python itself and he regularly contributes patches. Currently, I see current Python 2.6.6 and 3.1.2 packages in Debian testing with current Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 alpha coming along in Debian experimental. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
