Alternatives sounds OK at a first glance, but in contrast to the normal usage pattern of alternatives, the different python alternatives aren't interchangeable.
System scripts will *need* python2.7 (not 2.6, not 2.8 if there was one), because each python version has a different set of extension modules installed. Apps will perhaps *need* python3.1, and won't work with 2.x.
I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about the shabang? IIRC, distutils is smart enough to replace it with the appropriate binary, so if you call setup.py like this: python3.1 setup.py The shabangs will have "python3.1" as well, and the associated libraries will be loaded from /usr/{lib,lib64}/python3.1. -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
