On Windows, the killer issue is the availability of pywin32. I don't believe you'll get much take-up of Python 2.4 by Windows users without a pywin32 binary release. Is there any chance of prevailing upon Mark to produce a 2.4-compatible binary?

Agreed my pywin32 limited testing. And a lot of my python depends on wxPython on unix and windows.

I'd advocate an early alpha for another reason - Windows binary builders will need as much time as possible to work through any issues with the new requirement for MSVC7.

Is that 7.0 or 7.1 aka .net 2003? The reason I ask is that as my extensions are in C++ and 7.0 is unusable.
