This means that a version conditional is not sufficient to provide compatability with older pythons - the module will not parse. The usual thing done for cross version support is to write in the older version of python, or in extreme cases (i.e. where performance really hurts) have two separate modules _foo_2_5 and _foo_2_6 and conditionally do 'from _foo_2_5 import *' etc. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
