I'd like to upgrade to 2.3.3, mostly to use VPython. I have a lot of
stuff not in the standard distro,
VPython, PIL, wxPython, eGenix tools, etc. How much of this stuff can I
still use as is, i.e. just copying over the 2.2 site-lib stuff to the
2.3 site-lib stuff? What will I have to rebuild? TIA

taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a
minute and a huff.

    Anything with C code (and everything you described there has C code)
    needs to be rebuilt (and/or redownloaded). (Most projects have 2.3
    binaries available for download already). Generally speaking, major
    versions of Python (x.x releases) are binary-extension incompatible with
    previous versions (x.w).

    I just re-installed new for PIL and wx, Numeric etc. but some of my stuff
    for video capture has no version for 2.3x and no source, so I had to stick
    with 2.2 on my astronomy computer.
    Hopefully you won't find the same...
