I think we discussed the Python version support policy on this list in regard to the changes to exception classes. It's documented pretty clearly: ZODB 3.10 requires Python 2.5 or later. Note -- When using ZEO and upgrading from Python 2.4, you need to upgrade clients and servers at the same time, or upgrade clients first and then servers. Clients running Python 2.5 or 2.6 will work with servers running Python 2.4. Clients running Python 2.4 won't work properly with servers running Python 2.5 or later due to changes in the way Python implements exceptions. So the ZODB 3.10 server requires 2.5. You cannot run clients with Python 2.4 with a server running 2.5. Therefor you will have to update the application at some point.
