No. Moviefly (<= 0.12.3) runs with both python2.3 and python2.4. The problem is that the automake macros detect only the newest version of the installed software and thus, if you have python2.4 installed it will automatically install everything into python2.4 library path.
If you only have the minimum versions of the associated packages installed lmc will still compile and run.

This behaviour effectivly prevents you from creating (Debian) binary packages for python2.3 if python2.4 is installed.

The runtime-dependencies for creating debian packages are set for my system where I last created binary packages for debian sid.

The existing dependencie need to be adjusted; right now it depends on these python packages:

python (>= 2.3.4), python-qt3 (>= 3.14)

which is bogus, since the deb installs

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lmcqt.so
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lmc/*

So obviously python2.4 is required!
It'd guess these dependencies are correct:

python2.4 python2.4-qt3
