Python 2.4 and 2.5 install in parallel so already-built applications will not be broken. But if you choose to rebuild your application against a newer Python, you might need some changes to make it build without errors or warnings. Ignoring compiler warnings could lead to problems on 64-bit systems, but possibly not more problems than with Python 2.4.

I think they'd tell us about problems. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
