Excuse me, but this really pisses me off.  I delayed upgrading from 10.2 for
awhile and was given the same "advice".  I was further told (check the mac
sig archives) that "you'd be able to stick with 10.3 for much longer"
because new apps wouldn't need to require 10.4.  So I upgraded.  Now you're
telling me that it's somehow "obsolete" and that I should upgrade because
"we can't be bothered to fix a compiler warning"?  Python supports much
older versions of other platforms.  What makes Mac OSX so special in this
regard?
