Jose,

That is understandable. The two incompatibilities with Python 2.4 that I am 
aware of are:

http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=269&can=1&q=python%202.4
and
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=267&can=1&q=python%202.4

This basically means that using "from gluon import *" will fail, as will 
using HMAC passwords in Auth. Since much of web2py has been modified to call 
"from gluon import *" internally, this means that the web2py server won't 
even start under Python 2.4, as issue 267 above (second link) points out.

If Python 2.4 support is a must for some people, then these two links 
include patches that will make most of web2py work, but it would obviously 
be completely unsupported and future updates would probably render the 
patches useless.

In the interest of keeping everyone informed, I thought it would be good for 
me to point out my experience with "hacking" web2py to run under Python 2.4.

Regards
