Yes, the python C/API is vunerable to problems with new releases,
and the 2.3-> 2.4 shift has certainly caused problems. The attempt
to recruit people to work on fixing this problem seems to be big
news in the python community at the moment, not least of all
because they haven't decided _how_ to do it.

Sort of- this is only a problem on unixes. Python libs are kept in
FOO/lib/python-x.y/ so multiple versions of the libs can coexist,
but the installed site-packages also live in (a subdirectory of)
this one. So none of the 2.3 packages (for example) would be
accessible by the 2.4 version of python, unless copied across by
hand or managed by some sort of package system.
When i found out about this, i was shocked- not only does python
have flaws but windows is actually _better_ at something than *nix
;)
