python-central (and Debian packaging guidelines for Python) does it all for you as you upgrade. Since those changes were made, and we no longer have version-specific Python library packages, I've never had to do anything manual to get a Python library to work with a particular version of Python. It "just works" for versions of Python that you have installed. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2009: Hobart, Tasmania http://marchsouth.org/ "Free software never simply picks up its marbles and goes home." - Jonathan Corbet, LWN -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
