hi Bruce,

On the general python maillist,
I asked how to go back from 2.6.4 to 2.6.2,
(because of the problems with VPython)
and got the following answer:

2.6.4 is just a bugfix release- it's binary compatible with the other
2.6 releases. So any package that worked under 2.6.2 shouid also work
under 2.6.4 unless a new bug was introduced or it relied on a bug that
was fixed. And any package that works under 2.6.4 will also work under
2.6.2 without recompiling unless it hits one of the bugs that was
fixed.

Sorry, that's all I know ;-)

cheers,
Stef
