| Hello! After installing py3k:72466 I found that python3 is hardlink to python3.1: $ ls -lai python* 34614 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3625145 2009-05-08 11:10 python3 34614 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3625145 2009-05-08 11:10 python3.1 38299 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1406 2009-05-08 11:10 python3.1-config 34616 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2009-05-08 11:10 python3-config -> python3.1-config I'm expecting symlink python3 pointing to python3.1(as python is symlink to python2.5 in my system). It's much easy to manage symlinks than hardlinks. | ||

| python3.1 or python2.6 has always been a "hardlink" to the python in the same directory. You will see that (LN)python(LN) python(LN)python(VERSION)$(EXE) $(PYTHON) The one you find as 'softlink' for python2.5 is perhaps ubuntu way of doing it. Python installation from source for (Python2.5 also) creates hardlink only, so this is working as designed. |
