Looking at the python2.6[1] page in Debian's PTS you'll notice it is still in experimental so don't hold your breath waiting for it appearing in testing.
I didn't plan to. I don't actually mind installing my own Python. It's just that I've been procrastinating about doing something active on MM3 for months, and on the spur of the moment decided NOW was the time. I wasn't expecting that I'd be spending an hour or so just installing Python (I needed to install a bunch of -dev packages, etc.) and was frustrated. :-þ
Steve, it will be awesome to get your input on MM3. I /think/ you
should be able to do a straight up from-source Python 2.6 install, and
then run the instructions on the ALPHA.txt page. If you hit any
glitches, please do let me know.
