Mine, too.  But our Python is sufficiently up-to-date for my purposes.  

I may have misunderstood, but I thought by "it's probably a good idea to
upgrade your Linux distribution," you were referring to the distribution
of Linux itself, rather than the Python distribution on Linux.

On the list of things that matter to me, invoking the more current version
of Python as "python2" vs. "python" is way down the list.  Most of my
Python work is done on my home system, anyway, which is Python 2.2.2 (for
now).
