merwok asks on IRC whether documentation changes to release26-maint will be allowed. I can sympathize with the 'allow' argument; Python 2.6 is still either the default version or soon to be the new default in several distributions, and it will take a while before Python 2.7 is as widely available.

Even if I use Python 2.5, I read 2.7 doc because it is usually more complete (eg. 2.7 has more examples). If I use a new function, I just check that it is not a function introduced in Python 2.6 or 2.7.

If you compare 2.5 and 2.7 doc, the 2.5 is just ugly :-) 2.5 has no table of content at the left and it uses subpages which is less pratical (to search something using the browser) that a whole module on the same page.

So I just don't care of 2.6 doc :-)
