Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Be it known that I am against using the 2.5 version in BLFS-6.2.0.
There are API changes that affect code and could affect Python's
interaction with other packages. Please review
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/porting.html
My understanding is 2.4.4 fixes all the security issues without
introducting API changes.
My observations are based on the fact that Python is such a
heavy dependency on many, many packages.
I could be wrong, but is there really time to test the API
changes in the 2.5 series?
