Python 3.1
Python 3.1
I was wondering if you would consider making a python 3.1 build, on python.org they say it is considered stable. If not could you point me in the right direction to get information on how to build personal Salix/Slackware packages. Thank you very much. Python 3.1 source code can be found here http://python.org/downloads/.

Re: Python 3.1
As we want to stay compatible with Slackware, we will not upgrade python in Salix. You'll have to wait until Slackware does it.
If you still want to create a package for it for yourself, the easiest way to do it is probably to use slkbuild. Read the wiki page about it for more: http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/SLKBUILD
and also
too. The first thing you need to know of course is how to compile python itself. Packaging is a step that is done after that.

Re: Python 3.1
Python is a Slackware package, so we won't update it ourselve. If you really want to use a newer version be warned, that this may break things.
To build a own python package you can use the official Slackbuild script of Slackware:
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-c ... /d/python/
Get all the files from that directory and have a look into python.SlackBuild. You have to tweak the version number and probably some other things, too. After that you can run the script to build a package.

Just took a look on wikipedia where Kleve is. Long distance to me 
I'm living in a region called Lower Franconia. See the location on the map: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterfranken

Sweet you live in Bavaria, I love it there. I had a blast in Munich, at least that is what I was told, I was drunk pretty much the entire time I was there.
