Here's a summary of Python versions on other popular distro's:
RedHat:
RedHat 8.0 has Python 2.2.1
RedHat 9.0 has Python 2.2.2
Fedora Core 1 has Python 2.2.3
Mandrake:
Mandrake Linux 9.2 has Python 2.3
Mandrake Linux 10.0 has Python 2.3.3
Gentoo supports these Python versions:
2.3.1-r1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3-r5. 2.3.3, 2.3.3-r1, 2.3.4_rc1
Looks like RedHat users will have to build Python from source if 2.3
becomes a requirement...
