[Bf-python] python 2.3

[Mats Holmberg]

Hi

I'm using Python 2.3 and thought I would try the new Blender with it. 
Does it work? It's failing at least when encountering "import string" 
with the following error:

Run Python script "Text" ...
/usr/lib/python2.3/types.py:52: Warning: 'yield' will become a reserved 
keyword in the future
warning: Python C API version mismatch for module strop: This Python has 
API version 1011, module strop has version 1012.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Text", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 379, in ?
    from strop import maketrans, lowercase, uppercase, whitespace
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/warnings.py", line 6, in ?
    import sys, types
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/types.py", line 52
    yield 1
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py:282: Warning: 'yield' will become a reserved 
keyword in the future
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

Also when starting Blender I always get the following:

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py:282: Warning: 'yield' will become a reserved 
keyword in the future
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Using a clean Global Dictionary.

I haven't got a clue what this means =)
I'm using Linux Mandrake 9.1 on an AthlonXP 1700+

Please, I'd appreciate any help
thanks,
Mats
