Debian Python packages in sid
With the upcoming releases of the last packages which didn't support 2.4 yet (Plone on the Zope application server) we may be able to drop support for 2.3 in sid and etch as well."
Raphael Hertzog has more on the new Python
policy. "As we want to do the python 2.4 transition now, we need
to make sure the packages match the policy. This will limit the amount of
broken packages when python2.4 will become the default and will smooth this
transition.
