I came away from the thread with the opposite conclusion for similar reasons. People would use a 2.3.6 if their OS upgraded it for them but those are the same people who won't upgrade to 2.4.x because it involves testing. 2.3.5 isn't broken for them or they would know it by now. 2.3.6 probably isn't broken for them but it can't help -- or they would have noticed a bug by now. My own servers jumped from 2.2 to 2.4 for the same reason everyone else has given for an upgrade. We just happened to have time in the dev cycle to do testing and did it on the version that was available (2.4.1) at that time. -Jack -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
