It appears that there must have been a (temporary?) glitch in mirrorlist, or in the yum interpretation of mirrorlist. As far as I can see it is more or less impossible to downgrade python, so I'll just leave things until the current version gets up to 2.3.4 . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
