No real reason except wanting to support PY_VISIT (I guess, I didn't make that changes). I agreed on them because usually the only reason to work with such an old Python is embedding and Python 2.4 is much better than 2.3 in my experience. So supporting 2.3 adds nothing. I am sorry this change hurt you but 2.3 is so old that I didn't think someone was still using it. federico -- Federico Di Gregorio http://people.initd.org/fog Debian GNU/Linux Developer [email protected] INIT.D Developer fog-NGVKUo/i/[email protected] Lei: ma mi stai guardando l'ascella?
