I hope 1.x isn't a target for any of these projects. At this point, I'd consider support for Python 2.4 to be quite generous on the part of the developers. And yes, I'm still using Python 2.4. Thankfully I'm not developing or maintaining anything on Python 2.3. I would be surprised if there was widespread interest in adopting new tools in projects using such old versions; keep in mind that even if something stable is available in 6 months, it'll be a year or more before adoption becomes widespread anyway. -Fred -- Fred L.
