19 I get the feeling your phrasing here is a bit misleading- 'support
20 setting py3k as main active python' implies that the stats above are
21 the # of pkgs in the tree supporting *using* a py3k interpretter.
22
23 I'm betting you mean "support multi-abi", meaning if you've got py2.6
24 and py3.1, it'll install into py2.6, while avoiding py3k. Fair bit of
25 a difference.
26
27 Kindly clarify- if over half of the raw dev-python pkgs are py3k
28 parsable I'm going to be very, very surprised.
