Package: python
Version: 2.3.5-1
Debian provides parallel installable versions of python as, e.g. python
(which depends on python2.3) and python2.4. However, the default
/usr/bin/python executable is a symlink to python2.3 owned (I think?) by
the python package itself.
Thus, the only way to change which version the 'python' command invokes
is to edit a symlink owned by an installed package. Surely it would be
better to use the 'alternatives' mechanism like other parallel-
installable packages so this can be a user choice?
