Eh? I used Red Hat for a long while and don't remember their crippling the Python distribution. I do remember their believing the Python advocates that Python was a stable language, and therefore building critical features around it, and being unwilling to upgrade between major Python releases during minor Red Hat release cycles. The result was that RH 7.x shipped with Python 1.5.x for quite a long time after Python 2.x had been released. However I don't remember anything being crippled about the 1.5.x installations. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
