Re: [BitPim-devel] which python?

[Daniel P. <da...@co...>]

Python 2.7 is backwards compatible with Python 2.5 (the only break in
Python backwards compatibility is between Python 2.x and Python 3.x),
so it should work fine for development. Python 2.5.6 is just the
newest version of Python 2.5 (i.e. with any bug/security fixes), so if
you do decide to use Python 2.5, that's what you would want.

On Ubuntu (or any other Debian-based distro), sudo apt-get build-dep
[package name] should get you all of the packages needed to build that
package.
