Well, lessee... they need Python 2.3, SQLite 3, wxPython 2.6,
ReportLab ??
The ide tools could check the framework version, and if there was a
minimum required, would be able to report that to the user. They
don't have to be the same number, and in most cases, people won't
care, as long as it works.
I think that using the same version numbers when the different
products are at very different development points is much more
confusing.

But it doesn't. There's nothing added since 0.7 that will break 0.7
apps. If we decide to incorporate product X at some point, as we did
with SQLite, then that issue will be valid again. But even the
incorporation of Decimal, ReportLab, SQLite for DataSets and now
OpenGL is done in a way that doesn't break older stuff. There simply
was no way to do that with the addition of SQLite as our preference
engine.
