Python 2.4 had been ported more than 5 years ago by a former workmate, otherwise we wouldn't even have that. > Most non embedded devices should offer python 2.5 or newer > (for some distros you just have to add 'alternative' repositories) For this platform (HP NonStop) basically nothing is available from any repository on the web but ITUGLIB (http://ituglib.connect-community.org) and that's the machine I'm working on/for ;-) We're currently trying to port Python-2.7, but it ain't easy...
