Not a stupid question - actually, dmacks (cc'd) has been adding a few Distribution tags to packages so that we don't bring anything older than -py25 over to 10.5's successor. >> I see that python 2.5 is in the 10.4 stable tree (and this package is >> not in the 10.3 tree), so I thought that just maybe it would be okay to >> drop the support for 2.3 at least and maybe even 2.4, but I figure >> there's a bigger picture I'm missing.

Another question for this package is whether people benefit from having the different python variants (e.g. some other package uses it as a library) or if it is a standalone set of tools which should just use the latest Python package in Fink. -- - Charles Lepple ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
