I've got both Python2.4 and Python2.5 installed in Etch, along with a
*lot* of Python extras. How do i make v2.5 the default (even if i have to
get rid of v2.4) in such a way that all of the extras (PyQt, Plone,
matplotlib, etc, etc) work correctly with Python2.5?

t.i.a.,
Eric

Change the symlink in /usr/bin.

That doesn't work. Yes, it get's me python2.5 as the default, but it barfs
on imports of PyQt, pylab, etc, because that stuff's not in
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/. I'm guessing that if i do:

1) remove every Python thing i have
2) then reinstall v2.5
3) then reinstall PyQt, pylab, etc

,then perhaps all will be well, but i'd rather not go that route if
there's an easier, or perhaps more Debian-esque, way to do this. Any other
ideas?
