- Python 2.6 is now available in unstable and testing . Also, Python 2.6 is now a supported version (while writing these lines only in unstable). It will take at least a couple of weeks until 2.6 is the default version.
- Python 2.7 alpha 2 is available in experimental. It is not expected to be in squeeze.
- Python 3.1.1 also has been uploaded to unstable and it is co-installable with python 2.6. However, Python 3.1 is not a supported version and the Python Policy for handling 3.1 needs to be updated; this means some modules might not be available. You can try Python 3.1 by installing the package «python3» and running «python3».

I just want to add that python-apt has support for Python 3.1.
