Description: Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Finally, Python is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on PCs under Windows, MS-DOS, and OS/2, and on the Mac. Name : python2.3-devel Arch : i386 Version: 2.3.3 Release: 2pydotorg Size : 1.87 MB Group : Development/Libraries Repo : Locally Installed Summary: The libraries and header files needed for Python extension development. Description: The Python programming language's interpreter can be extended with dynamically loaded extensions and can be embedded in other programs. This package contains the header files and libraries needed to do these types of tasks. Install python-devel if you want to develop Python extensions. The python package will also need to be installed. You'll probably also want to install the python-docs package, which contains Python documentation. *** Indicating python 2.3 is installed.

Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. *** Any ideas why yum thinks 2.3 is installed and rpm thinks 2.2.3 is installed? Let me know if there's some other metadata I should provide as well. -- .salvatore http://www.sienar.org/ http://www.palmisanonet.com/ [psn now has neat google ads! go. click. make me happy.]
