I've just decided to update my Pythonn skills.  First step was to decide what
version to base my learning effort on, and I decided on 2.6.  The problem is, my
FreeBSD python port level is 2.5.  I know perfectly well how to build/install
the python26 port, but a couple of questions first:

1 -- can python25 and python26 coexist, or should I consider deleting the
python25 port?

2 -- is there some helper utility (perhaps part of some port) that accomplishes
the library compatibility updating, all of the other python updating problems,
for when you update?  I'd want to use such a tool for keeping my python site-dir
stuff done right.

3 -- what's the port which I need to have pre-installed, in order to insure that
python26 has tkinter working in it?

4 -- if I want to use eclipse to write my code in python, is the Pydev the
correct eclipse plugin to use?

Thanks, guys.
