2.4 ETA

[Kai Hendry <hendry@iki.fi>]

Good day,

I just skimmed the last thread "multiple pythons and the default" and
checked http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPythonTODO

Soooo, when does Unstable move to 2.4? I have webpy users wanting to use
2.4. I am reluctant to make 2.4 packages as they look really sucky. But
if this 2.4 transition is going to take a long time, then I guess I'll
have to.

Best wishes,

I based my webpy python package on yours. 

Now some people are complaining it doesn't work with Python 2.4

http://groups.google.com/group/webpy/browse_thread/thread/b552cbf75bd60db8/1135fd9fb265b55a?lnk=arm#1135fd9fb265b55a

So I guess I need to make 2.4 packages. But, I wonder why you don't deal with
this issue with your package?
