This would not be too complex. An example of things that would either nee=
d a
bit work or be just unsupported on 2.1 is the built-ins (int, str, type,.=
..)
which are now type objects instead of functions. Python 2.2 also has some
more regular internal functions, that can be supported with only one Psyc=
o
meta-function, whereas Python 2.1 would require various supporting code f=
or
the various cases; this is the case e.g. for object attribute reading and
writing.

So if there is enough interest, Psyco can be modified to be compilable wi=
th
Python 2.1. Basic support is easy, re-implementing some 2.1-specific
meta-functions takes a bit more time but is basically straightforward.
