In fact, I no longer have a copy of anything older than 2.4! :)

The patch looks straightforward, and works find under python 2.5, so  
I'll merge it.

Would anyone scream if I removed support for python 2.2? Google says  
python 2.3 was released five years ago, so I'm thinking it's fair to  
ask python 2.2 users to upgrade at this point.
