Edit your /etc/apt/apt.con and add the following line: APT::Default-Release "stable"; Now edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add testing Sources (deb and deb-src). So you could install the new python package by just typing "apt-get install python2.2/unstable", but I fear it won't work, since this packages are compiled for sid. If you feel lucky today you can try "apt-get -t unstable python2.2", this way apt-get will follow all dependencies in the unstable tree. Untested, but probaly the best way: Create your own backport, with "apt-get build-dep python2.2 ; apt-get --build source python2.2". After a while you should have some fine .deb's which you can install with "dpkg -i". After that you may remove the packages, which got installed with apt-get build-dep. Sincerely Alexander
