"apt-get install python" or "apt-get install pythonX.Y" where "X.Y" is something like "2.4" or "2.5". Sadly if you want Python 2.6 or 3.1 currently you'll need to use experimental or install from source. When building from source first do "apt-get build-dep python" to make your life easier.

Python(x,y) is a package of Python plus various tools and libraries for science and engineering: http://www.pythonxy.com/ There is a Ubuntu package for it, which I have not tested on Debian 5. This site has a list of the packages you could install to get the same basic functionality as Python(x,y): http://groups.google.fr/group/pythonxy-linux/web/pythonxy-linux-packages-list Regards, Graeme -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

First time I heard of Python(x,y), there's always new stuff around the corner. :-) Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
