Good grief, what a brain-dead decision of naming. It's guaranteed to
cause massive confusion over what's being referred to, as evidenced by
this thread.

Apologies, I misunderstood the question. First time I heard of
Python(x,y), there's always new stuff around the corner. Smile

Floris,

I thnk that Roberto was asking about Python(x,y) rather than version x.y
of a standard Python install.

Python(x,y) is a package of Python plus various tools and libraries for
science and engineering:

http://www.pythonxy.com/

There is a Ubuntu package for it, which I have not tested on Debian 5.

This site has a list of the packages you could install to get the same
basic functionality as Python(x,y):

http://groups.google.fr/group/pythonxy-linux/web/pythonxy-linux-packages-list

Regards,
Graeme

"apt-get install python"

or

"apt-get install pythonX.Y" where "X.Y" is something like "2.4" or "2.5".

Sadly if you want Python 2.6 or 3.1 currently you'll need to use
experimental or install from source. When building from source first
do "apt-get build-dep python" to make your life easier.

Regards
Floris

This python x,y is a brainpain primarily for the local habitats. In
other communities people will surely accept it more easy. =)

Great stuff, BTW, this (x,y).
