Yeh, I figured you'd have the latest version available but I thought Debian had some compatibility stuff where people could easily have python2.5 or python2.4 installed at the same time as the latest version using current modules etc.? So I was wondering if it would cause any problems there, with modules/apps. not being able to work in py2.5 mode. It sounds like it's not a problem though. > I also happen to be a RHEL5 python 2.4 user and I personally have no > complaints from that perspective.

Yeh, it's very unlikely that urlgrabber would get rebased in RHEL-5. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
