Debian have yet to pull their finger out and switch to Python 2.4 as the default python even 2 years and 2 months after its initial release! I personally find that quite frustrating since debian is my OS of choice. (Yes, becoming a Debian developer is on my todo list along with spend less time at the computer and more with the children ;-) However ubuntu, which is debian/unstable packaged up for end users, is committed to python, and hence has python2.4 and all its packages. There is nothing to stop you using ubuntu's python packages with careful use of apt preferences and sources.list. Or you can swap to ubuntu completely using apt-get! -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
