as you may have noticed the default python version has changed to 2.6. please note:
- if you have currently installed ports that use python, you will need to upgrade them before installing new ports using python. if you have a mixture of old+new you will have problems finding libraries. the simplest way to handle this is to use package snapshots and make sure you run pkg_add -ui before adding anything new. if a snapshot contains scapy-2.0.1p0.tgz then it was built against python 2.6. - IF YOU BUILD THINGS FROM PORTS THEN CVS UP THE WHOLE TREE. - if you have created a symlink from /usr/local/bin/python to python2.5, you will almost certainly want to switch it to python2.6, again in order that libraries can be found. (packages should always explicitly use the path to the version of python they were built against; this symlink is a convenience some of you might use for things outside of packages). - test! test! test! several of us have been running with 2.6 as the default python version for a long time and have experienced no problems, but we can't test everything. unlike the switch from 2.4 to 2.5 we don't really expect any incompatibility, but if you rely on something that uses python, then please upgrade when possible and check for problems.
