There doesn't seem to be a way to have the project page show downloads from
anything but the current release.  However, old releases are still there:

    https://launchpad.net/python-mode/+download

Still, I think it would ultimately be best if we could continue to support
XEmacs for basic editing.  We'll have to rely on XEmacs users to test things,
but I'm also happy waiting for Skip (or whomever) to give the green light for
XEmacs compatibility before I announce a new release.

I think it would also be okay if some reduced functionality is allowed to
creep in, but let's be explicit about it.  I.e. the mode should not crash in
XEmacs, and basic editing should always work, but it would be okay if some
Emacs-only feature were supported with no equivalent in XEmacs.

But maybe there will come a point where XEmacs (or our support of it) just has
to be declared dead.  I dunno, and I don't want to make that decision, so as
long as Skip's still using it I think we should try to continue to support it.
