Thanks for the URL.

Actually, all I require (for now) is subprocess.  So
I went and made a python24 module.  I'll change this
if people think something else would be better.  (It's
easy to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.)

I can show you what I've done:
     http://texd.cvs.sourceforge.net/texd/py/python24/
http://texd.cvs.sourceforge.net/texd/py/tex/util.py?revision=1.4&view=markup

My idea is that python24 should contain the Python 2.4
modules that those who are still on Python 2.3 might
want to use.

Similarly, python26 would be modules that are new
for Python 2.6 (which has not been released next).

I doubt that I'm the only one with this problem, and
this is my suggestion for making it easier to solve.
