Raymond:
Acceptance for Py2.4 partially hinges on how quickly third party apps have their binaries updated. I wonder if there is anything we can do to help.
One good way of helping out is to provide an dynamic loading function that third party modules could access the basic python functions such as PyArgParseTuple, PyString_AsString etc regardless of which python the user is running. This would be similar to the COM approach. You can load all the function pointers into a struct and then call them.
Third party modules would link against this DLL independent of which python is being used.
