On a somewhat tangental note, MoinMoin breaks with Python 2.3 CVS -- it expects integers from some of the os/filesystem time routines were changed to return floats. The fix is trivial, of course, but it is interesting to note where real code breaks.

I wonder if perhaps we should be more conservative here and stick to ints. This was discussed here and we didn't know of any software that would break. Now we do...
