Hello Ben
Thank you very much for taking the pain to make it.
Unfortunately I was unable to download it, I must have try one hundred
times!
I get only a half of every files even of the old 2.2.1 that I succeed to
download some months ago.
If you could remedy to this it will make me happy!
Many thanks
Jean-Pierre

> There have been many enhancements, including:
>
> Smaller & faster executable size.
>
> Long Filename TSR under DOS and NT 4 is now mandatory!
>
> $DJDIR/site_python is now searched as part of the default path
> (provides room for deeper
> packages under MSDOS 8-directory restriction.
>
> Socket module has been upgraded to Watt-32 2.8 without SSL support.
>
> An additional SSL (OpenSSL-based) library is provided separately.
>
> Better/more stable thread support (library recompile under better env)
>
> Limited-method release of the MS-specific 'msvcrt' module provides
> DOS-specific API:
> getch, getche, kbhit, putch, setmode, ungetch
>
> Some Watt-32 specific socket errnos have been corrected from the 2.2
> release.

> The Python source itself has greatly improved. From Python website:
> We are pleased to announce the release of Python 2.4, final on November
> 30, 2004. This is a final, stable release, and we can recommend that
> Python users upgrade to this version.

> Python 2.4 is the result of almost 18 month's worth of work on top of
> Python 2.3 and represents another stage in the careful evolution of
> Python. New language features have been kept to a minimum, many bugs
> have been fixed and a variety of improvements have been made.
>
> Notable changes in Python 2.4 include improvements to the importing of
> modules, function decorators, generator expressions, a number of new
> modules (including subprocess, decimal and cookielib) and a host of bug
> fixes and other improvements. See the (subjective) highlights or the
> detailed release notes for more, or consult Andrew Kuchling's What's
> New In Python for a detailed view of some of the new features of Python
