Hi Clinton, If I was you, I would stick for a little while with python 2.3 untill Blender 2.40 gets stable. In the meantime you can use Movable Python (python on an usb stick) to program in Python 2.4: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/
But I guess Blender will become stable soon. Stani -- http://pythonide.stani.be (python editor for blender) http://pythonide.stani.be/manual/html/manual.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
