Favorite flavor of Linux? (for python or anything else)

It depends what you are looking for in Python. Many new features have
been introduced in Python2.4
It would seem that you don't have any use for these. As I am still
relatively young in Python, I am very eager to keep up. If you would
have followed the posts on this board over last year or so, you should
have been informed about this.
Python2.3 didn't become worthless. It simply can't do what Python2.4
can.
