Your report is correct.

The reason Csound uses 2.3 is for compatibility with Numeric which I use for algorithmic composition. I will investigate and upgrade if possible.

I recall having no luck setting the scons python version option to
python 2.4, and by using the default, 2.3, I had to install python 2.3
which by default was not on Fedora 4. After build, the binaries then are
dependent on the specific version of Python. It may be that the Python
2.4 default install in Fedora is deficient in something that prevented
my build from succeeding. But, rather than fight with it, I went to 2.3,
and it built and runs fine.

Perhaps this is not really a hard dependency, but it's not all that soft
either. Is it possible for CSound instead to simply attempt to use
whatever version is installed?

But you can still just take the python dependecy right out, correct? I 
mean, the resultant csound build only depends on python *if* you chose 
to build the python opcodes. I am under the impression that using scons 
by itself does not introduce any runtime dependecy on python.
