Hi. Thanks for the patch. If this is the only change required to make butterfly work on python 2.4, then great!

However, your patch is somewhat inconsistent with the butterfly style (why all the unnecessary underscores?). If you could quickly update the patch to use more legible variable names I'll immediately push it.

Thanks.

Minimal required version has been bumped to python 2.5 for the next release.

(Papyon depends on python 2.5 anyway)
