Why? It's not as if Python 2.3 is suddenly worthless. Python 2.2 is the default install (on RedHat something) where I work: there are still reasons to program against an older release. And besides, Debian Stable /does/ include Python 2.4: http://packages.debian.org/stable/python/python2.4 > Running two > versions in parallel is not the way to go. Why not? It seems like a fairly small invonvenience to me. I use Debian stable exclusively -- but people have different priorities and I accept that (as long as they run Unix ;-). But any Unix today will come with a reasonable Python installation; I don't see that as an important part of the choice. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.dyndns.org> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
