That won't happen before either I switch to Panther (not very likely to 
happen) or Debian releases 3.1 (not very likely to happen in the near 
future, as it is Debian we are talking about ;-) ) or I running some 
3.1 testing box where I run PyDS (unlikely, as PyDS only runs on my 
production machines and those usually run Debian stable).

So actually if somebody want's PyDS to run with Python 2.3, send in 
patches :-)

Don't know - but most tools don't give you a choose between text 
formats anyway. It's a speciality with PyDS. Maybe I could add a switch 
to the preferences to set the metaWeblogAPI text format to some fixed 
value.

Yes, 2000 is disabled. But if you disable them and don't restart PyDS, 
they will be disabled, but still hooked up. If you restart PyDS with 
disabled tools, those tools shouldn't be hooked into other tools and 
anything should work fine. But if they are hooked and you don't 
restart, other tools will try to access them, while part of PyDS will 
already regard them as disabled.

So either set them somewhere above 1000 but below 2000 and continue to 
run, or set them to 2000 and restart. Some tools might not like it to 
be disabled, as they are used by others heavily, but aggregator and 
topicexchange _should_ be able to be disabled.
