Python 3.1 vs 2.6?
i just found python 3.1 in the Ubuntu Software Center today... yes i know, i've probably been under a rock... but my question is, would installing 3.1 cause any conflicts with the 2.6 installation in terms of retro compatibility with python based apps?
i don't know if 3.1 is supposed to replace the older version or run side-by-side because of major changes or what-not.
could someone give me a briefing?

FILES
/etc/python/debian_config is searched for the attribute overwrite-local. If set to 1, or True, existing files in
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/*-packages are overwritten with symbolic links to the pycentral install area. The default is to abort the installation
of a package, when files already exist. This behaviour may be useful, when python libraries were manually installed into this directory.
The attribute byte-compile can be set to a comma separated list of the values standard and optimze to indicate how files should be byte-
compiled.
