I think most people using python as a development tool use the version available in their distribution. Personally, I mostly use the stock python of Ubuntu. Although building python itself is not difficult on the typical linux box, keep in mind that you will almost certainly need to re-build all the packages you need. Tt is not easy if at all possible to use extensions from one python interpreter to the other, in particular for packages which contain C code (things like pygtk, pyqt come to mind). If you want to use python 2.6, you don't have a choice, though, since it is not available on Ubuntu yet as you said. David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
