hi,
the main reason for keeping 2.3 support was to support the last ye
olde Debian stable I think... However they finally got their new
release out with 2.5 as the standard python (unfortunately they
released with a version of pygame from 2005). Plus the 2.3 python on
tiger OSX, and not requiring msvc71 on windows too... like everyone
has already mentioned.
So hopefully we don't have to worry too much about 2.3 support.
However unless there's a good reason, I don't think there's no need to
rip out any 2.3 support code.
