It *was* pretty sketchy. Basically you shouldn't expect people to debug 
code they can't see. There are some very able programmers active on this 
newsgroup, but their psychic abilities are limited :-)

Once yo post in the newsgroup (or mailing list) then use of the same

If you suspect the problem is a bug in Python then you might consider 
searching the bugs database on sourceforge. If nobody's reported a bug 
then you are being very optimistic assuming that migrating to 2.4 will 
fix the problem.
