It's not behind. python2 was forked into a separate package for political reasons. Namely, the former GPL-compatibility brou-ha-ha. Python 1.5.2 remained the default version because Python 2's licence wasn't acceptable enough. Now the license thing has been straightened out, but they're stuck with the current version of Python in a side package. (And now there is a python2.2 package for the beta...) I made /usr/bin/python a symlink to /local/opt/Python-2.2b1/bin/python2.2 and have not had any problems yet. I do install my own extensions rather than Debian's (MySQLdb, PIL, egenix-mx, Cheetah). -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
