I guess it's time to upgrade. No big deal for me, but should it be
mentioned somewhere (before the next release)?
Or better yet, tested for in, say, 'configure'?
(Sorry, I'm very short on time at the moment but I wanted to mention it
before I forget.)
I've checked in a change (in r21459) that should fix the immediate mtime
issue. The Python section Developer's Guide says "version 2.2 and above
should be working fine." Should we enforce Python >= 2.2 in autoconf
and/or win32-setup.sh?
I can confirm the workaround works.
It seems reasonable to me to force a more modern Python--I imagine 2.1
is quite ancient by now and it's not like upgrading should be terribly
painful (unlike the Gtk1->Gtk2 switch).
