Sorry, I've missed that one. But as of now, we've got it.

Hmm. Python 2.3 comes preinstalled on Macs and it's not easy to upgrade 
it, even if one would wish. So we have to support this version for quite 
some time.

I didn't realize that templates are new in 2.4 -- my bad. We could 
either revert to the older version or (which I like better, if it's 
feasible) ship the Template code from Python 2.4 with DITrack, provided 
that a) the license permits (which I think is true), b) it's not too 
much hassle (name conflicts, etc). Some research needs to be done on that.
