I'll look it up and get back to you. In theory, it should be readily available on the Debian site... in practice, as the "testing" branch is a relatively new development, it might not be. > But my point was that Python 2.x for Debian is available. Depends how you define "available". There exists a debian package in the bleeding-edge development branch, but you can't just install it on a system running the current debian release. I don't think that's available to most users. As to the "I compile things from source" people: well, that's fine and I used to do that myself, as an ex-slackware user, but I now value my system's integrity, so even if I compile it myself, it gets made into a package before it gets allowed into /usr.
