Just curious whether there's a working package for Python-2.4.4 or 2.5.x.
I see that in current/testing there is no upgrade from -2.4.3.

Python-2.4.4 is a bug-fix release so it should be possible for you to
build your own using the slack-build script from the source tree.

This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.

That's what I thought, Thomas. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't create
problems for me.

Thanks,

I have been using Python 2.5 on Slackware 11 for some time, with no problem
at all. The only side effect is that python-based Slackware packages will
want to install to the Python 2.4 directory. The only such package I've
encountered so far is Bittorrent in extra. Copying the Bittorrent directory
to the Python 2.5 site-packages directory worked fine.

Here's a (temporary) link to a pre-built python2.5 for Slackware 11, if
you'd like to use it:
