Hi,
I have an FC3 on a dedicated (remote) server.
I would like to install Zope 2.8
It recommends python 2.4 to be installed.
would you know if there is some plans to have python 2.4 on FC3?
I ask because when I try a "yum update python" there's nothing to
upgrade/update.
No plans whatsoever. There are a large number of packages in FC3 that
are built against the python 2.3 ABI, which would break if python was
upgraded. In you really want python 2,4, your best bet is to upgrade
to FC4.

Paul,
Is it not possible to have 2.3 and 2.4 both installed? Why not?
Yes, it's possible, but the way to do it would be to have a "python24"
package rather than an update to the main python package itself. New
packages aren't likely to be introduced as updates, particularly not for
a distro that will be end-of-lifed in six months or so. A third-party
repo or Fedora Extras could do it though.
