All existing associations between versions and issues stay as they are. I don't quite understand what the problem is. Yes, the versions were "retired" (in roundup speak), and yes, issues that were originally associated with the retired versions stay associated. So what is the problem with that?

The problem is that I don't have a way to find out the relation number-name for the versions (see below).

(there might also be an XML-RPC interface to do that). OTOH, if you had downloaded the list of versions once, you can trust that each id

I didn't download the list versions once, so far I got it everytime from the server (it was cheap, because it's short, and I don't have the issue of the local copy becoming obsolete if something changed).

How I donwloaded it everytime? I went to

http://bugs.python.org/version

and parsed the id and name for each line. But I can not do this anymore.

continues to mean what it meant on creation, so you might want to look only for updates (i.e. newer ids).

I guess I could do this, if there's no other way to have all the (id, name) pairs for all the existing version values.

Thank you!
