http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pygame/20577/ A long time ago, I asked which Python version should be the minimum that we support, and René said Python 2.4. What do you think should be the oldest supported version now? I would be comfortable with Python 2.6.

It's ten years old. Currently, it is tested again 2.7 and 3.3, but I can't think of any reasons why 2.6 wouldn't work. As for 2.4, there might be some issues with the generator syntax. Its been a long time since I've used 2.4.
