Well, if you want to consider python 2.3 as supported, I have a buildfarm
machine I am about to put online that has 2.3 on it. If I spin it up with
python enabled, I expect you to see to it that it starts passing. If you
won't do that, I'm going to change the documentation.
As for 2.4 vs 2.5, I don't have a lot of faith that we're really
supporting anything that's not represented in the buildfarm...
