I wanted to use python2.4-geoip in my LinkChecker program (as an
additional information for URL reporting). Unfortunately LinkChecker
requires Python >= 2.4, so I cannot use the current default version.
That is why I have submitted this report.

Yes, that is unfortunate. Some time ago I wanted to solve this problem
with my "python-central" approach: have one python library package
supporting _automatically_ all installed python versions.
But I have had not enough time to pursue this effort more.
Here are the files:

Anyway, this bug is still only a wishlist. If you don't want to do it
right now I can live with it :)


Regards,
  Bastian
