On the surface, yes. However /usr/local/bin is in the $PATH first, ahead of /usr/bin by default. so anything that doesn't call /usr/bin/python directly causes issues. This is also a common support theme on irc. Mostly because yes, it would be nice for a newer python, but that will be coming in 6.x -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
