Core

These packages are the minimal necessary to run or develop Python applications for Maemo.

python2.5
Version 2.5 of the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.
python-central
Provides support for building and installing python modules independent of the current installed Python version.
python-defaults
Provides meta packages with unversioned package names (e.g. python-dev, which installs python2.5-dev).
python-runtime
Meta package which installs the basic Python runtime environment.
python-support
Provides tools for byte-compilation of Python-only modules, and automatic rebuild on major Python upgrades.
