I believe most AppEngine applications in Python are still using 2.5 run-time. So are development boxes for these applications. It may take another year or two for the transition.<br clear="all">-- <br>anatoly t.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
What's the general consensus on supporting Python 2.5 nowadays?<br>
<br>
Do people still have to use this in commercial environments or is<br>
everyone on 2.6+ nowadays?<br>
<br>
I'm finally getting some continuous integration set up for my packages<br>
and it's highlighting some 2.5 compatibility issues. I'm wondering<br>
whether to fix those (lots of ugly "from __future__ import<br>
with_statement" everywhere) or just to drop Python 2.5 support.<br>
<br>
What do people feel?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
