I agree that regrtest.py looks a good mechanism. It just appears that `apt-get install python` on Debian and Ubuntu brings no tests with it. @Lawrence D'Oliveiro: `apt-get install debsums` does indeed show that the packages that it checks have matching checksums. `debsums [-a] python` checks all sorts of /usr/share/doc/python files while `debsums [-a] python2.5` checks /usr/share/doc/python2.5, /usr/lib/python2.5 and others as well. Although that wasn't what I was originally looking for it has been helpful. Thank you for your suggestions. All the best, Geoff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
