Hello,

I got this error when I'm using TracCron.

I got this error also when I compile your plugin

build\bdist.win32\egg\traccron\core.py:205: Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2

See also #9105 for Python 2.4 compatibility - the fix is as easy as replacing "as" by ",".

Very good, I unfortunately have no much time to work on this plugin. Do you know how i can promote you to maintainer role ?
