Hi! I am quoting Sandro message to answer to Steve one.

(And it >> would be an easy thing to ignore, as well; Wow. Almost nobody uses python-central because python-support has a friendly maintainer that helps people asking questions. Reversing the situation seems quite biaised. For example, python-central does not clean up old pyc files and there are numerous bugs report about this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518940 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466244 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479852 If you look at bug reports on python-support, you will notice that Josselin is handling most of the bugs reported in a sane way. We did use python-support because we get answers and fixes for our problems. -- I WILL NOT CREATE ART FROM DUNG I WILL NOT CREATE ART FROM DUNG I WILL NOT CREATE ART FROM DUNG -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode BABF04
