Hi!

Sorry for the noob question, but which version of Python does XBMC uses?
On the official Python website they have two version 2.7.3 and 3.3.0...

xbmc ships with python 2.6, which will be used on most installs.

on linux, it can use other python versions,
depending on which version is installed on the system.
(ubuntu 12.10 ships with python 2.7.3)

python 3.x is not backward compatible with 2.x
so unless you know what you're doing i would wait until xbmc supports 3.x
