You should be fine with 2.5. What features of 2.6 do you plan to use that are not available in 2.5? (maybe you need a "from __future__ import" statement to enable some features in 2.5, e.g. with_statement)

thanks I really don't know to be honest. I just got several books and they say learn on 2.6 or above but I'm sure it is close enough. the only thing that tripped me so far was the format method vs the format statement.

I am installing and updating easy debian now. It crashed when I did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, I am now redoing it with apt-get --no-install-recommends, not sure if that will make a difference...I would like to learn in 2.6 or above. I started down the perl road like a month ago but honestly python seems more doable to a new programmer like me...

The only thing i found missing in 2.5 that's in 2.6 were some added zipfile (unzipping/zipping) functionality and function calls but they were easily reconstructable in 2.5.

IMO, this bug is what blocked the PyMaemo from releasing Python 2.6 for Maemo 5.
Ad. Python 2.6 features - I also use with with the future statement. It's just so handy
There are some other improvements in 2.6, that would be nice (less clunky sqlite support, the multiprocessing module, some new data-structures, timeout for urllib2 connections,...), but nothing really critical.

Is there any way to upgrade to python 2.6 on the device? I see via apt-cache search something called python2.6-brisa but I don't think that is it and I certainly do not want to break all the app that use python...thanks for listening.
