Which version of Python are you using?  2.xx or 3.xx?

I am getting back into Python and it would be good to know what version 
is in the newest versions of LO.
4.1.5/6 and 4.2.2/3

I just dumped the 4.1.5 version of LO that got from the PPA repository, 
since it has a different menu icon set over the one I installed fresh 
from the LO download site.  I was/am using Linux Mint 16 which had 4.1.3 
in its internal repository.

May end up with Ubuntu 14.04LTS when it comes out on April 17th [or so], 
if the install problems with 13.10 is not there in the new version.  Had 
12.04LTS till a few weeks ago.

I do not know which Python installs are available for either OS, but I 
would say that I would rather use the one LO developers are using 
instead of any other version.  Though, I do not know what coding 
environment is best for that version either.  Have to think about that 
one later, when I have time to open up the Python books again. [when my 
stress levels are lower]
