Ok, makes sense as a strategy. I guess in an environment where all your software is packaged you can depend on the correct Python version being there in theory, so I kind of understand where the Fedora people are coming from. > For 1.0 we should look into getting things from 2.6 and > maybe we then have a stronger case for the fedora packaging > reviewers. Right, as they probably won't switch to 2.6 for a while.
