This makes a lot of sense - Python 2.6 is already Karmic's default Python version. I conjecture, though, that all work done to make Launchpad run on Python 2.5 would also be required to make it work on Python 2.6, which is why I think it would be a comfortable stepping stone. > I had several branches where I worked on this back before we open > sourced.

Though meanwhile, patching the lp-sourcedeps/sourcecode/* branches provides a way to parallelize the buildoutification and newer-python work. Max.
