Hello Kent,

Maybe I did not explain it well.

As it is, syfi cannot be installed on my debian (sid) with "apt-get 
install syfi". It would have an unmet dependency even if python2.5 is 
installed, because in debian/sid, the default python package is (still) 
python2.4. Making it (also) depends on python2.5 *explicitly* will solve 
this fail-to-install problem.

As a matter of fact, will syfi work with python2.4, or even earlier?

Regards,
ST
