[Dev] Python 2.3.4 upgrade

[Ted Leung]

I bogusly only sent this to Mark the first time:

The list of changes between Python 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 is here: 
<http://www.python.org/2.3.4/NEWS.html>.  These are exclusively 
bugfixes.

Unless we are actually being impacted by one of these bugs, I'd suggest 
that we wait on 2.3.4 in order to keep the build stable for a while.   
The Python developers have just
released the second alpha of Python 2.4 which is something that we'll 
probably be interested in picking up.   The generator comprehensions 
and decorators in 2.4 might
be useful to us.  Also, I think that Brian is using the 2.4 mail 
parser, so moving up to 2.4 seems like an eventuality.
