By all means fix them :)

One small thing:  I've seen some strange warning messages using weave.inline() 
under python 2.3, for code which works 100% cleanly if run it again with 2.2. 
  I mentioned this to Eric, but unfortunately I don't have a _small_ example 
to test with.  It might be nice to at least test inline() against 2.3, in 
particular using type_converters=converters.blitz.

My warnings look typically like:

Ultimately if you can't see any problems, I can mail you off-list my stuff and 
you can try to see if it helps.  It's not 'small', but the problems appear 
when running the test suite, so it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Note that as far as I've seen, the code _works_ under 2.3, it just spews out a 
ton of warnings which I don't see with 2.2.

Best,
