Re: Why still 2.4? How can I help you?

But when Lenny is released Python2.5 won't be a current python ;)

Anyway, thank you for the clarification.

 don't worry, Lenny will not have python2.4 as a default Python version
 (or it will be released with python2.4 over my dead body ;)

 How can you help? See this thread:

Why still 2.4? How can I help you?

[js]

 Hi,

Today I read Debian Python Policy and found that it says that
At any given time, the package python will represent the current
default Debian Python version.
The default Debian Python version should alway be the latest stable
upstream release that can be integrated in the distribution. 

Unfortunately, this is not true, at least for today's etch, the
stable debian release.
I know etch has python2.5 package as well as 2.4,
but because 2.4 is treated as default python on etch,
installing python-related packages is more than aptitude install python-*.

I'm sure that you python guys are already working on this,
but let me ask you some of my questions.

- What problem prevents python2.5 from becoming default?
- Is there any estimated date that python2.5 will get default?
- Is there anything I can do to get your work done quickly?

Thanks.
