I'm not particularly comfortable in fiddling with the library source, 
even if the change seems really minor, therefore I guess that I'll 
upgrade to a more recent version of Python/Debian. 

But here I have another question, as a python novice is there really any 
reason for me to use any particular version of Python?

Should I start directly with the newest? What about 2.7?
