Not too sure about this, but I think this transition is one of the
things waiting for a sarge release.

Many thanks to those who responded, I found 2.4 in unstable.

Python 2.4.1

2005-04-05 Thread Colin J. Williams
I don't know whether this is the appropriate place to ask this question 
but could someone please let me know when Python 2.4 will be available 
in a Debian package?

Poking around in synaptic, it seems that some packages dependent on 
Python are linked to older versions.  Examples are:

konqueror = python 2.1
distutils = python 1.5
Since a lot of effort is put into making Python backward compatible, 
shouldn't these accept more recent versions?

Python2.4 is available in testing and unstable.  It's just not in the
current stable.

I'm not sure where you are seeing this build dependency.  Since it
appears you are using stable, then looking at:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/konqueror

and I don't see any dependencies on python.


 distutils = python 1.5

This probably is still in stable to maintain backwards compatibility to
older versions of python.  On the description page for distutils, it
says:

Beginning with Python version 1.6 the distributions utilities are
included in the upstream Python source and can be found in the
pythonX.Y-dev packages.
http://packages.debian.org/stable/interpreters/python1.5-distutils
