Hi :-) I want to use some plugins for Trac, which come in source code and require setuptools for install. The server with Trac is running on Fedora Core 3 and has python 2.3.4 (tha latest packaged version for the system) I've visited setuptools' website (http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools) and it says in couple of places that the minimal requirement is python 2.3.5... I want to ask if any of you know it is safe to use setuptools with python-2.3.4? As far as I know 2.3.5 is "only" a bugfix release... I can't test it myself because the machine is a production server ;-) I will be very grateful for any help. Best regards, Maciej Zieba

2.3.5 has a bug fix for the use of reload() with modules contained in zip files, so it's recommended. However, if you never use reload() with a module that might be in a zip file, you can probably get away with 2.3.4.
Hi :-) Thank you for your response :-) Are python eggs "modules in a zip file"? I'm asking because trac plugins build such eggs... Best regards, Maciek Phillip J. Eby napisa?(a):

Yes.

Well, if they're going to be reloaded using reload(), they may not work correctly with Python 2.3.4. But if reload() isn't used, you shouldn't have any problems.
