[tahoe-dev] python 2.4 no longer supported?

[David Abrahams]

I got this when running "python setup.py install" with a python 2.4

  Reading http://initd.org/pub/software/pysqlite/releases/2.4/2.4.0/
  Reading http://initd.org/pub/software/pysqlite/releases/2.3/2.3.5/
  Best match: pysqlite 2.5.5
  Downloading http://oss.itsystementwicklung.de/download/pysqlite/2.5/2.5.5/pysqlite-2.5.5.tar.gz

I guess you need to adjust something about the selected pysqlite release
or simply dump 2.4 support?
