I think we are closely approaching the EOL for Python 2.4. Supposedly when Python 2.6 comes out next year Python 2.4 will be officially discouraged and will not receive any more fixes other than security fixes.
This seems to be a common misconception; I'm not sure why. Python 2.4 has *already* hit EOL. There will only be security fixes released in source form. When a new Python 2.X is released, a final 2.X-1 bugfix release is made and 2.X becomes the maintenance release. 2.X-1 gets critical security fixes only. The unreleased trunk becomes the development version. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "Chaos is the score upon which reality is written." --Henry Miller
