Ah, oki.

I want to support all the same Python versions supported by the upstream
authors.
But on Karmic, 2.6 should be given preference whereas on earliere
systems maybe 2.5.

One of my users reported at install:

Setting up python2.5-minimal (2.5.4-1ubuntu6) ...
Linking and byte-compiling packages for runtime python2.5...
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Onboard/KeyboardSVG.py:104: Warning:

    with open(pane_svg_filename) as svg_file:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Errors were ignored.

Setting up python2.5 (2.5.4-1ubuntu6) ...

Setting up spyderlib (1.0.1-4~ppa9) ...


Any Idea?

Thanks,
