Problems:
(1) Debian stable doesn't have Python2.6. *sigh* (Not your fault, but it's now 0237, and I'm in a bitchin' mood and even Pure Prairie League doesn't make me feel better.)
Neither does Debian testing aka squeeze, as I noticed moments ago. Just another reason to run Ubuntu 9.04 or above.
It's taken me years to get Debian under control so that it installs what I need and only that. No, I don't think I'm going to switch to a distro whose goal is to eliminate the need for Windows.
Sorry if I sounded like urging you to switch to Ubuntu, my statement was meant only as a pun towards certain people currently in charge at the Debian project I had my issues with.
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.
Regards Siggy
