I know it and I'm not using it yet anymore, but there's a lot of CentOs and Debian Etch servers around running 2.4, so I think it would be important to make them notice very clearly that web2py is not going to work with them and, if possible, where it's going to fail with that python version. Because if it starts and a good part of the applications still work, it might hide future errors that should be known for the implementors. It's just a question of ellegance keeping well informed all the web2py users, even if most of us won't have problems as we're using at least 2.5 Regards
