Correct. Python 2.4 and older are not supported by botan-1.10. And even
for 2.5 you need to tweak configure.py a bit. See the comment at the
very top of that file.

Python 3.3 seems be a bit bleeding-edgy. Again, see that comment.

Glad to hear that.

I still intend to support Botan as far back as 1.6.3. And I certainly
tested with some one version from each stable Botan branch, including
1.6. On Debian exclusively, though. And in non-standard locations (as
you did for botan-1.10 on RedHat). Then again, I'd be surprised if the
OS matters much in this case.

Stephen now thinks it was a configuration issue on his RedHat box. So
there's nothing to fix in monotone, I think.

I don't see much reason to raise the bar. Certainly not to 1.10. We
might think about dropping support for the botan-1.6 (and -1.7) series,
but let's please do a monotone-1.1 release before that.

BTW: current Debian stable (squeeze) still has botan1.8, while wheezy
(soon-to-be-stable) brings 1.10.
