Author core dumps because of expat symbols, python-2.5 seems to solve it

hi,

when does mod_python support python-2.5?

it seems that former versions are likely to cause core dumps when
using pyexpat, see http://python.org/sf/1295808,
http://python.org/sf/1075984, http://python.org/sf/1558223.

as subversion uses expat, and edgewall trac is for subversion, errors
like this seem to be very likely, when using mod_python for running
this. the same happens when running moinmoin wiki with mod_python
together with subversion.

python-2.5 seems to solve that.

-solo.

I'm running mod_python on 2.5 for more than two weeks now without any
problems that I've been aware of. Grab the trunk version from the
subversion and have fun.

There is more to it than that. Read:

Python 2.5 on a 64 bit platform may have issues as mod_python
has been updated properly for 64 bit platforms with new Python.
