The reason I haven't left 2.3 is that we have A LOT of C extensions that are linked against 2.3. These extensions are in our `production' environment now and are known to work and work well. There are just too many things to worry about to make the leap to 2.4. However, I've happily discovered that python 2.3 and 2.4 and peacefully coexist. So, I get the best of both worlds. jw
