Unfortunately, you'll have to compile Dia and all its depencies yourself in order to use a Python version > 2.2 on Windows. The reason is that Dia is using msvcrt.dll, while newer Python versions are linked against msvcrtXX.dll versions. This creates an incompatibility in the different versions. As we are using precompiled versions of underlying libaries, we stick to msvcrt.dll for the time being. Supporting Python > 2.2 on Windows would more than double my effort to package Dia for Windows. As my resources are very limited, I cannot do this. However, if you want to put up the necessary funding for this, I think it can be arranged. What is wrong with Python 2.2? You can install it nicely in parallel to other Python versions.
