Also, Python 2.6 is now a supported version (while writing these lines only in unstable). It will take at least a couple of weeks until 2.6 is the default version. Python 2.7 alpha 2 is available in experimental. It is not expected to be in squeeze. Python 3.1.1 also has been uploaded to unstable and it is co-installable with python 2.6. However, Python 3.1 is not a supported version and the Python Policy for handling 3.1 needs to be updated; this means some modules might not be available. You can try Python 3.1 by installing the package «python3» and running «python3». 3 « Previous posts Top Categories debian-devel-announce demo deployments events i18n new news.debian.net ports project qa teams updates wnpp Archives February 2011 January 2011 December 2010 November 2010 October 2010 September 2010 August 2010 June 2010 May 2010 April 2010 March 2010 February 2010 January 2010 December 2009 November 2009 October 2009 September 2009 August 2009 July 2009 Meta Log in Site Feed RSS Based on theme by Jehy .
