Same thing happened to me, except with fink. One of the reasons I stopped using fink.

You guys know you can safely run multiple versions of Python on the same machine? You just have to set them up right, and choose which version you want to be your generic system-wide install.

So with Sun hiring Leung and Wierzbicki that makes what 3 major companies (Google, Microsoft, Sun) with vested interests in Python?

Yahoo!, NASA

What I love most about Python's current growth rate is that it's almost entirely due to things Python has been doing all along, not just some new flashy framework or idea.

Err yes Yahoo! too, forgot. Who of the big contributors to python development does NASA payroll?

Sorry, by "vested interest" I figured using it for robots and various other systems counted.
