While Trac 0.12 is about to be released, there is some uncertainty whenever new Distutils-generated installers are compatible with old versions of Windows and Python. There are some fears that installers generated on Vista and Windows 7 won't run on XP or 2000. Is that true?
That should be fine. pywin32 has used Vista to generate the last few releases and it installs fine on XP (and probably 2000, but I can't say I actually tested that recently)
Also is there a limit on the lowest version of Python that installer generated with Distutils to say 2.6.5 will run?
I'm not aware of any limitations from 2.2 forwards - if you use the --target-version option, bdist_wininst should select the appropriate 'stub' executable for the version you specify (Python 2.6 includes stubs suitable for most 2.2-ish onwards)
