I don't know what should be done to resolve the ticket. Here's why we
dropped Python 2.3 support post-9.0, though:
* Developers complain from time to time about having to support Python
2.3
* Running builders for the upcoming Python 2.7 release is going to
over-tax our build slave farm. Dropping Python 2.3 gives us *little*
breathing room here (but we're still short on, eg, Windows, where we
haven't been testing Python 2.3 for quite a while anyway).
* No reasonably current releases of mainstream platforms that I'm aware
of are still bound to Python 2.3.
