Hi Hans, Ask the Mepis folks about this. I understand that Mepis is a Debian-based distribution, and you should be able to use the 'dpkg' command to drop debs. That being said, I have no idea if Mepis uses Python as a part of its core system. It might not be a good idea to remove it because doing so might suddenly break a whole lot more than just IDLE. That's why you need to talk with folks who are familiar with your particular Linux distribution. > The reason I want to uninstall python is that its an old version (2.3). > Not that I particularly want the new version, but the IDLE installation > that I downloaded reports all kinds of errors because apparently its > meant to work with python 2.4. This sounds unusual. Try: $ which idle at your shell prompt. What shows up? What happens with: $ which python Good luck to you! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
