Unsupported systems

A number of features are not supported in Python 2.3 anymore. Some

A number of features are not supported in Python 2.5 anymore. Some

support code is still present, but will be removed in Python 2.6.

Warning on install in Windows 98 and Windows Me

-----------------------------------------------
|

|

Following Microsoft's closing of Extended Support for
|
||||
Windows 98/ME (July 11, 2006), Python 2.6 will stop
|
||||
supporting these platforms. Python development and
|
||||
maintainability becomes easier (and more reliable) when
|
||||
platform specific code targeting OSes with few users
|
||||
and no dedicated expert developers is taken out. The
|
||||
vendor also warns that the OS versions listed above
|
||||
"can expose customers to security risks" and recommends
|
||||
upgrade.
