Perhaps the PBF should just work from Python 2.3 when it comes out,
especially since...

  * The stated motivations for 2.3 were enhanced stability and
    performance - just the thing for long term deployment,
    although rolling in 2.3.x bugfixes might be wise.

  * There doesn't seem to be a PBF tie-enabled release yet.

  * A lot of new module functionality in 2.3 seems to be very
    important to "enterprise" software.
