The default Python version on Ubuntu 10.04 server edition is 2.6.5. The latest version of the Python 2.6 series is 2.6.6. Does Ubuntu support 2.6.6 or should I leave it at the default version. If I can upgrade the version, what's the corresponding apt-get command to upgrade the Python?

if Ubuntu will support to Python 2.6.6 when you run:

apt-get update

and then:

apt-get upgrade

automatically youll see the new version of python to upgrade, meanwhile you can keep the version 2.6.5...
