hi,

a new Python, version 2.6.2, is now available on stable.  this is *not* the
default Python; it is installed in /opt/ts/python/2.6, and to use it, you
should write something like this at the top of your script:

#! /opt/ts/python/2.6/bin/python

all previously-installed modules are also available with the new Python.  the
problem with $PYTHONPATH is also fixed, so there is no longer any need to set
that to use any modules.

i recommend all projects which use Python change to 2.6, as any new module
requests will only be built for this version.

	- river.
