python2.4 is much less of a jump from 2.3 than 2.2 was to 2.3. The full release (not just rc1) was released today. Then again, I don't see any features that I plan on using anytime soon, so it's not really worth the upgrade at this stage (for me personally). Is there a way to change things so that ou could plug in whichever version of python you need to?
