Hi there,

For a while already people have been making changes that at least break 
tests on 2.4. For instance, zope.testing has some facility to pretty 
print a dictionary that sorts the keys, because Python 2.4's built-in 
pretty print module apparently doesn't do that yet, meaning random test 
failures can happen. But people have been updating code to use Python's 
built-in pretty print facility and this will only be reliable on Python 
2.5 and higher.

In my opinion it's time to drop Python 2.4 support anyway, but it's been 
going a bit haphazardly by way of bit rot..

Regards,

Martijn
