You are right. There are no *Python* issues I am aware of that should stop GNUmed working with Python 2.4. > By contrast, I still > can't get wxWidgets to work on my Fedora Core 2, 3 or 4 systems. Tell you what, get yourself a Debian Sarge system (takes about 2 hours off your life) and most if not all of those worries are gone.
