Python 2.5 packages for evaluation

[Mihai Ibanescu]

Hi,

I've just finished building python25 packages for FC5 and rawhide.
They should install just fine alongside the standard 2.4.3 python packages.

To invoke them, you will need to use python25 instead of python as an
interpreter.

Python 2.5c1 was released last night and has the status of Release Candidate
1. So, it should be stable enough by now. But, because they do not _replace_
the stock python, all add-on modules will be unavailable.

I would appreciate if you'd let me know if they don't treat you right.

This is especially true for package maintainers that deal with python - please
consider trying to build your packages with python25 and see if they work
properly.

Thanks,
