#5 Win32 build against Python 2.4

[John Whitley]

Hi Phil,

First, let me say that Kodos is a great tool. I just
ran into a case where Kodos didn't handle the regex due
to my use of a Python 2.4 regex constructions, as in
the following to match XML attribute name/values (don't
ask... ;-):

attrName = r'\b(?P<name>[a-zA-Z_:][a-zA-Z0-9.-_:]*)'
attrValue =
r"""(?P<quote>(")|('))(?P<value>(?(1)[^<&']*?)|(?(2)[^<&"]*?))(?P=quote)"""

fullAttributeRegex = re.compile(attrName + '=' + attrValue)

While getting the kinks out of the above, I discovered
that the current Kodos build ships with Python 2.3, so
it doesn't grok the above regex. It'd be great to have
a build against Python 2.4 for those of us working with
the most recent features.

Docs for the new feature are in 2.4's module re syntax
docs under "(?(id/name)yes-pattern|no-pattern)"

Thanks again!

I will try to put together a Python 2.4 release in the near
future. I need to install some additional software first
(such as Python2.4 and the respective PyQt packages).

Kodos v2.4.7 (and later) are built on Windows using
Python2.4 and related packages. There are no changes to the
source code for 2.4.7 so this is just a mainenance release.
