For me personally, the fondest memories are of 1.5.2, which Paul Everitt declared, while we were well into 2.x territory, was still the best Python ever. (I didn't agree, but 1.5.2 did serve us very well for a long time.)

That makes me feel better about the fact that 1.5.2 was my employer's main Python version until late 2010. :)

(We're at 3.5 now.)
