There is already some work being done on something called "python-central" that is working towards resoving this. Julian Gilbey has correctly taken one of the only options available until "python-central" or something like it is adopted. Note that under testing and unstable, multiple versions of Python will happily co-exist, so it should be save to install python2.1 on your python1.5 systems. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ----------------------------------------------------------------------
