Current version in the device is 2.5.4
For the changes between 2.5 and 2.6 see python documentation http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html

A question, are you meaning that on your device you have python pre-installed? On the device shipped to me it is not present and on pymaemo site faq says it is not installed by default.
TIA

thanks, looks like there's not enough difference between 2.5 and 2.6.2 to worry.

Python is not preinstalled, no, but is available from the repos, or as a dependency for the first python-based app you install (such as PyGTKEditor, or Canola).

If you absolutly need 2.6 for an n810 the simple way is to install Mer on it, as it s include 2.6.
The main differences in 2.6 vs 2.5 is the adds of some 3.0 feature in the __future__ module, and warnings of what will be deprecated in 3.0.
So if you don t use future module you ll not got problems.

fpp, where did you get the impression that Python is not installed on the device?
f4b3r, just checked on my N900 and /usr/bin/python reports as 2.5.4

Sorry, I did not read the original question carefully and so answered with my N8x0/Maemo4 experience, as I don't have a N900 yet...
So my reply was off-base and unhelpful, but at least through my mistake I learnt that Maemo5 does have Python pre-installed, which had escaped me, and is very good news :-)

My N900 did not have Python installed out of the box. Also, I am very disappointed that 2.6 is not available.

Aside from perhaps multiprocessing, which has been backported, what 2.6 functionality are you missing ?

What versions of python are available for use on the n900? From n810 experience, only 2.5 had been available for maemo. I don't know if its changed since OS2008, though. I am required to use python 2.6.2 at my school and it would be convenient to have it on the go. If 2.6.2 is not available, are there any differences between 2.5 and 2.6.2 that might cause any problems?
