What version of zc.buildout? I see:
"fix Python 2.4 support (Domen Kožar)"
in the changelog for 1.6.1, fwiw.

Ugh, thanks. I'll check.

Both 1.5.x and 1.6.x seem to produce a site.py with the "with f" statement in it. Though I don't see in the 1.6.x buildout code where or how that happens :-. It's gone in Buildout 2 IIUC. In the meantime I've moved bootstrap-1.4.4.py to bootstrap.py; until Buildout is fixed I'm not sure why we'd ever need the newer bootstrap.py.
