Does 3.2 still support python 2.2?
From the 3.2.5b doc:
(http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-3.2.5b/doc-html/inst-prerequisites.html)
2.1 Prerequisites
* Python 2.2.1 or later. Earlier versions of Python will not work.
Is this still true or have we dropped support for python < 2.3? Has
anybody tested using python 2.2.1?

Probably :)
I don't remember where the 2.0.40 came from. There may have been a
technical reason for it, or may be it was just the current version at the
time. I think the most honest thing to would be to say that we've tested
it with 2.0.53, but it will most likely work with a few minor versions
earlier just as well. Since we're part of HTTP project, we should anyhow
encourage folks to use the most recent versions.

OK then, good enough.
Next question. Should we bump the Apache version requirement as well.
Currently the docs state that Apache 2.0.40 or later is required. I
don't recall seeing anyone testing mod_python 3.2 on anything less than
apache 2.0.53. I don't know if there are any changes between 40 and 53
that may have a negative impact, but if we haven't actually tested on
the earlier versions are we just asking for trouble?

I figured we had moved on to 2.3, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't
missing something before I changed the docs. I'm not sure if there was a
formal decision on this or everyone just assumed it was true. Perhaps a
pronoucement from Grisha to make it offical?
If python 2.2 support has been dropped then it needs needs to be
mentioned in changes section of the docs, and the README as well.

I'm pretty sure we've had a few discussions about being able to use certain
functions and modules because they became available in 2.3, and that's what
mod_python was going to require. Like the bsddb database version for your
session code, for example.
