Maurice started this one here, but a post by me triggered that.
Firstly, I think that VB should accept Python 2.6 and above. They aren't the
only ones to cause problems that way. they may be fussy about what they have
tested.
Secondly, what is wrong with installing two versions of Python? Ubuntu have 3
versions (Python 3 as well.) Considering that VirtualBox was not a priority
for Mageia 1, I thought that Python 2.6 might come later. I don't know how
many people have made Mageia their principal distro. I had to reinstall
Mandriva 2010.2 long after the CD was released, and Mageia Beta 2 was
available at about the right time. It seemed to be Mandriva 2010.3. It is
O.K. for most of my needs, and I know that the trimmings, the eye candy, etc.
will come later. I have no desire to go back to Mandriva at the moment. I
can wait. It is like somebody who wanted to know where his whizz-bang graphic
effects were. wobo replied that Mga 1 was not about those. What has been
achieved is great.
Doug Laidlaw.
