I'm only speaking for myself (though I *think* Dave P. would agree with me)... The problem is not that I'm personally against compiling python for my own use. The problem is that I'm trying to create and maintain a distributable package for a specific linux distribution that does not ***and will not have*** python 3.2 available to normal users who don't compile things for themselves. I am not saying that there were not good reasons for going to 3.2, I just wanted to clarify, at least for myself, why it's a problem. Respectfully, Richard M.
