Minor (or bugfix) releases of Python are, by design, backwards and forwards 
compatible with each other (assuming you're not depending on the behaviour of 
a bug <wink>)

That is, if something works with a Python 2.4.x (including 2.4 itself), it'll 
work with any Python 2.4.x (including 2.4). See PEP 0006 for more details, 
although note that there will be an update to it shortly making the backwards 
and forwards compat constraints even stricter. 

This is also the case with all versions of Python 2.3.x being compatible with 
other 2.3.x versions, although that guarantee doesn't hold for the 2.2.x 
series (*cough*booleans*cough*)
