[Bf-python] API python 2.3 ?

[Jonathan Merritt]

I can also report success with Python 2.3.2 under Linux.  Basically, it 
worked immediately for me with the main Blender CVS tree, without any 
changes to the Blender code at all.  I haven't tried compiling tuhopuu 
for a while, so I'm unsure about that.

Can anyone summarize the arguments for keeping Python 2.2 as the 
"official" version?

AFAICT, upgrading to 2.3 now is an easy task.  I'm not great at building 
software, but upgrading Python (I use it for other things - mainly 
numeric computation) is dead easy for me.  I don't buy the arguments 
that I remember hearing about not upgrading because it's a hassle for 
everyone.  Surely since it's an open source product, we should be doing 
our best to keep the latest official Python release the one that Blender 
uses?
