I think I'm going to leave bool as bool and not int. I was actually
considering implementing int separately later. (for port numbers and
such) I am going to stick to my guns and say that Python 2.3 is the
requirement. Soon the code will have a check for that. Otherwise I'm
going to find myself tracking down bugs that wouldn't exist if the user
weren't running an older version of python. Besides, Python 2.3 has been
out since mid-2003. =)
