python2.2

[Dave Kuhlman]

The testing version is woody.  So change "stable" to "woody" in 
your sources.list.  (Perhaps you could instead change "stable" to 
"testing", but I'm not sure about that one.)

Not to distract you, but ... If you have gcc on your system, 
downloading, building, and installing the source is very straight 
forward.  Just:

  1. Down load the source from www.python.org.
  2. Unroll it with something like "tar xvzf ..."
  3. Then do:

    ./configure
    make
    make install     # as root

This is what I do on my Debian system.  Takes a few minutes, but 
it's painless and works great.  The README file will lead you 
through it.

And, now you can get the latest Python sources (2.2.1).
