Hi,
Others have to comment on whether we require python or not but it would be
nice if you attached your script to a bug report so we could have a look at it
and have a record of it. I think it should be OK to require python 2.6 as the
lowest supported level to make things simpler.
Best regards
Anders

Hi,
just for information the Linux development machine I have at work (Debian Lenny)
is still packaging python 2.5 by default (unfortunately). It would be great if
we could keep compatibility with older machines.

Regards,
Pascal.

Hi Pascal,

Lenny is oldstable and is not supported even by the Debian Project itself.
Please upgrade to Squeeze.

Cheers,
Balint
