I know it's not really Woody but if you feel brave then Debian testing 
is fantastic for Python. To tempt you, here's the list of readily 
available Python packages:

    http://packages.debian.org/testing/python/

Just in case you don't already know ... it's relatively easy to have a 
basic Debian stable system with some packages (i.e. Python) upgraded to 
testing or even unstable. Read about Debian apt pinning for more 
information.
