Deprecated, but not removed. So the worst that will happen is that Python will print a warning, which does not affect the actual functionality. It's safe for you to ignore. > Seems to me Python is a too hard to keep up with for programmers and > users alike. I cannot remove old Pyton versions because of dependency > hell. And Python does not upgrade itself in one single directory. So Yes, you don't want to try to remove the python version that your distro came with, because a lot of apps on your distro depend on it. This dependency hell problem is not unique to python. Try to upgrade non-bugfix releases of your glibc or gtk packages, to name a couple. Normal users should not need to maintain multiple python versions. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having a distribution with Python 2.4 (now unsupported by Freevo), you'll be far better upgrading your distro. But most distros released in the last 2 years are running Python 2.5, which Freevo does support. I think the biggest legitimate criticism a normal user would have is that neither Kaa nor Freevo have properly maintained channels for packages of new releases for the major distros (Fedora and Ubuntu would be ideal first targets). That'd certainly be an area where we'd be happy to get some help. > for every Python version there is a unuque directory on your > harddrive in which a few of your favourite Python apps reside. This Point releases don't have separate directories. So upgrading from say 2.5.2 to 2.5.3 will not break anything.
