At my previous place of work our app was written in Python and deployed on
Debian. We had a requirement to move to python2.3 (improved memory allocator,
additional modules, modest speed increase, etc.), but we were using woody, so
all I could honestly say was "wait for sarge". sarge of course is not near a
release, as I understand it, and brings it's own problems. A python2.3 and
libraries for woody would be a nice thing to have.
