Pylint is indeed supposed to work with python2.3, at least for now.

If you take a closer look at these errors, you will see that the
problem occurs in the test suite. Some of the code snippets used in
the test suite are indeed written for python2.4 but it does not affect
pylint itself.

The real problem is that we should test disutils to ignore the 
`tests` directory.

Cheers,
