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.

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
