Replace your Python 2.3.3 with a newer version you will have no fun. I
think you do not imagine what all will break. Keep your fingers off.
What you can think off may be a parallel installation of Python 2.3.4,
but do you do that much with Python that this change would really count?
What would you win? (Even when running Zope and Plone - which are pure
Python based, huge applications - there is no general need and
recommendation to use Python 2.3.4.)
