I had trouble with posts making it through to the list and so was also posting in parallel to the original posters. In doing so, your address initially bounced the message - so I changed it unthinkingly in a to: line. I did not realize until this morning that they made it through python-list unchanged, as they obviously do. All the best, Geoff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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

Two parts to the response: a) I don't feel that I am sufficiently expert to launch into compilation of Python if I can avoid it. b) I hope that I can put all platform risk into the lap of the hosting provider, and apt-get is probably the only delivery mechanism they will take any responsibility for.
