AFAIK, the only way to test it against both would be to compile 2.5.1 yourself. Then, /usr/bin/python would point to 2.5.2 and /usr/local/bin/python would point to python 2.5.1. To test your script against 2.4, just install the Python2.4 package from apt and invoke the interpreter with the command python2.4 instead of python. The same thing goes for python 2.3. Intrepid has a package for Python 3 as well, if you are willing to do a distro upgrade. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > >
