Over the past few weeks quite a few people have asked us for Python 2.6 support. We always try to install extra software when our customers request it, so we’ve installed Python 2.6 alongside Python 2.4.

To use Python 2.6, simply execute “python2.6” anywhere you’d normally use “python”. For example, if you use Django then you can just change the first line of django.fcgi to:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
