Matthias Klose (doko) wrote : updating to python2.6.6 or .7 in lucid and updating

Binary package hint: python2.6

(started discussion about this kind of update with Barry and Martin)

the python2.6 branch has a lot of bug fixes not present in the lucid python2.6 packages; it would be worth updating the python2.6 package to the 2.6.6 (or the 2.6.7) release. what would need to happen?

 - review changes in the python2.6 branch, these should only be bug fixes (barry)
 - backport the py_compileall / pycompile changes, needed for dh_python2 backport (doko)
 - review locally applied bug fixes during the maverick and natty release cycle (doko)

the backport of dh_python2 is tracked in bug #788524
