I'd recommend 2.4.4 over 2.3.6. 2.4 hasn't got much in the way of major likely-to-cause-bugs changes over 2.3, and it's had a heck of a lot more time to have bugs fixed. Once 2.4(.0) came out, work on the 2.3 maintenance series effectively stopped in favour of working on the 2.4 series. There's been a lot of bugs fixed since then that weren't applied back to 2.3. See the 2.4.4 release notes, available at the 2.4.4 webpage, for more. Anthony -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
