Hi All,

What's the general consensus on supporting Python 2.5 nowadays?

Do people still have to use this in commercial environments or is 
everyone on 2.6+ nowadays?

I'm finally getting some continuous integration set up for my packages 
and it's highlighting some 2.5 compatibility issues. I'm wondering 
whether to fix those (lots of ugly "from __future__ import 
with_statement" everywhere) or just to drop Python 2.5 support.

What do people feel?

cheers,

Chris
