Is that Python 2 code base aimed at Python 2.7 or 2.6? Or 2.5? Or 2.4? Or even 2.3? Or all of the above?

One comp= any is using 2.5. Another has been using 2.6 but they are moving to 2.7 bec= ause it's required by a package they need. =C2=A0I think that will be t= he driving force for companies to upgrade.=C2=A0
