Hi,

I've looked on the forums a fair bit but I couldn't find anything about your plans for python. Would it be possible to update it to python 2.6 ? It has been out for a fairly long time and we're still on 2.4.3 here. Some threads seem to say that python 2.6 is being used but that doesn't seem to be the case for my account. I'm using /usr/bin/env python to access it and I get 2.4.

Thanks!
Durand

I'm on my mobile device right now, so I can't check, but is 2.6 a stable version of python? We don't use development/beta/unstable software versions in active deployment for obvious reasons.

Code: 
#! /usr/local/bin/python2.6

import sys


print 'Content-Type: text/html'
print ''
print '''<html>
<head>
<title>Python Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello from Monty</h2>'''
print  sys.version
print '''</body>
</html>'''

On Boru, this shows 2.6.5 is used if called.
The latest production version of Python is 2.7, so 2.6 is stable.

ooh, you're right. So python 2.6 is present but it's not set as the default for python. Maybe an administrator could change that to help others unless there's a reason not to do that...
Thanks dlukin!

Actually, while it is installed, I can't import sqlite. See here:
