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

 From my own (recent) polls, it appears that people want continued support 
for Python 2.4 and later for a couple of years to come, mainly because 
RHEL5 uses that by default and has official support until 2014. Similar 
considerations apply to many Solaris installations.

The general consensus seems to be that support for Python 2.3 can easily be 
dropped, but that support for Py2.4 and later would be helpful.
