upgrading was easy, and TKS2 runs faster, too

I don't know why I had put it off for so long, it was so easy to upgrade Python, though I also had to go with a different download for Twisted...

With the new AgileWiki, Python2.4 will be required. (I've been using 2.4.1 for some time now at AgileWiki.org.) And yes, it runs much better with the new version!

Here's step by step for windows users:

1. download Python 2.4.2 from http://python.org/download/ This then installs in the python24 directory--USE THE DEFAULT!

2. change the windows path environment variable to reference python24 instead of python23. Bring up a command box, run python and verify that you are using the new version.

3. Go to http://twistedmatrix.com/products/download to get Twisted 1.3.0. Download the Windows Instaler for Python 2.4. And install.

With a broadband connection (yes, I've even got one in Bangalore), it takes less than 5 minutes to upgrade. Do it! :-)
