Fine.
I would have loved to see sys.path reordered the way I proposed in the
list, however.

We should not support 2.0 any more, IMHO.

Quoted from Gregor:
"
Python package maintainers should then change their packages to build
python1.5-* and python2.1-* packages (python2.0 if needed), and make
them depend on python1.5-base etc. That would remove the need for
versioned dependencies.
"
What is the exact policy?
Should all executable scripts begin with #!/usr/bin/env python1.5 (for 1.5)
and #!/usr/bin/env python2.1 (for 2.1)?
Thanks.
