If only Python could do that, just pull the plug out and not offer archaic versions for download. If that has been the tradition all along probably people would be rushing to download Python 3 when it's hot and porting all their code in fear of using a no longer supported compiler instead of complaining how they're still using python 1.5 and now there's python 3.0 breaking compatibility. I guess I'm glad that whatever python program I wrote now would still be easily runnable with no change in twenty years or so. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
