Currently markdown2.py requires a very recent version of Python (possibly >=2.5).

This email indicates that this isn't ideal:

BBEDit in the case above is using the system Python. On Mac OS X Tiger the default system Python is 2.3.

Perhaps 'mk test' should be made to run the test suite with all available Python versions.

r84: this now works with Python 2.3
