upgrade to 2.4 is on the roadmap and will take place soon .... the app 
is just too big and must be stable so since all works in 2.3 well we 
stick to it.

there are some parts (related to wx where I noted that 2.4 behaves 
differently so it needs some attention) ...


other reason is there is a number of users using customized python (on 
top of standard install there is wx, twistedmatrix, matplot and a lot of 
small libs/modules == 200MB) so it is kind of pin to migrate that from 
the deployment point of view. Tried to have Python on network drive but 
it is painfully slow. wonder what strategy should I choose while the 
priority is the stable app.
