I'm also not sure I like using update-alternatives here, as people will believe they can change it and it will just work while it's simply not the case.
Now that you mention, that's one of the main problems with treating pythonX.X as "alternatives". Each python installation has its own "prefix", and all the libraries installed in 2.6 are invisible for 2.7. Even worse, they can't be shared properly, because 2.6 uses a different bytecode than 2.7. So... not interchangeable at all. And, requiring a library for python2.6 may not imply the need to require it for 2.7 or 3.x, so you can't expect to have the same set of libraries in all versions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
