Python 2.6 is ripe

[oats]

curious... don't know much about python embedded... is this a lightweight version? what problem do you have with regular python?

Sublime Text comes with its own embedded Python interpreter to expose the editor's API (plugins). The current version is 2.5. Your system's Python version might be higher, but it's a different thing. As far as Sublime Text is concerned, your system's Python is only used in the build files to execute the current view's code, but not to script Sublime Text itself. Hence the request to upgrade Sublime Text's own Python.

Hope it helps!

Also, Python 2.6 C extensions now link to different incompatible versions of the Visual C++ runtime.

That... doesn't sound like a good thing? Or do you mean that the newer C extensions are not compatible with 2.5?
