[IPython-user] Running iPython .8.3 with Python 2.3 on Windows

Hello Fernando,

We have a large code base which needs to be migrated, and we will probably
go to 2.5, we just dont have the
manpower to do it now. Ipython isn't critical where I work, I'm the only one
using it. I will run it in a VM where I already have 2.5 installed, but this
will be just for learning, not everyday use.

It might be good to indicate on the Windows installer filename, that 2.4+ is
required (aor at least in a readme file), as well as having Ipython detect
the appropriate version instead of an unhandled exception occurring.

Although, I would suspect there are probably not many people out there using
2.3 these days ;-)

The syntax is slightly different in 2.3

I wouldn't say my need is critical, as I am still learning IPython.
