That would mean meddling with the Python import directories, won't it? Besides, the default installer installs it there. If you still think I should install it in /usr/share/, I don't think it will be a problem. > Also, python2.4 will be declared Debian's official version pretty > soon, so I think that you could probably just do the python2.4 > version, since there are so many extra features in that one. Again, if you really feel python2.4 only would be better and/or harvestman, rather than python-harvestman would be better, I'll repackage it. Thanks for the comments.
