Hello Martin,

I think Python 2.4 might be binary-incompatible with 2.3, anyway.

My (limited) experience with it is that although 2.n is generally incompatible with 2.n-1, for some relatively large proportion of extensions it doesn't matter because they just don't use the parts of the API that changed.

If you make the list API binary-incompatible then obviously the proportion will shrink dramatically.

A bientot,

Armin.
