I like pythonX.X.tar.gz best, and will change the filenames (leaving bc-compat symlinks for py152.tgz and pyth151.tgz) unless vetoed. Though isn't the standard GNU naming convention more like python-1.5.tar.gz?
It is, and I wish we'd move to it as did the Perl guys. It makes life substantially easier to have really uniform naming conventions, especially for programs like the Metalabs file clerk. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.
