OK, so maybe it's time to give up on Python 1.4 compatibility. But ideally, I'd prefer to go for an approach which leaves the code used under Python 2.2 and earlier completely unchanged, and only adds the minimum necessary for newer versions.
Longer term, it might be worth considering upgrading the code to use some of the newer features in the Python API, but in all honesty that's not a great priority for me (and unlikely to be even remotely on the cards until I can realistically desupport everything before 2.0...)
Why can't you realistically desupport pre-2.0? Believe me, I understand all the arguments in favor of keeping support for old versions, but someone who's getting a *new* version of vim has IMO demonstrably indicated that zie wishes to get access to new software. Even if zie needs to support old versions of Python, why shouldn't zie use a current version as the macro language in vim? What I'd suggest doing for your case is targetting Python 2.2 without pyMalloc, and just making sure you follow the 2.3 rules. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "There are times when effort is important and necessary, but this should not be taken as any kind of moral imperative." --jdecker
