That's not very ambitious ;-) (I assume you meant to write switching to 2.5?) > so I don't want to switch to later versions. > Python 2.5 has some cool features, mainly relative imports. Yes, keeping 2.4/2.5 compatibility is pretty simple; the only issues I've had are avoiding decorators. > Do you have some estimate, how many pyglet users still use python2.4? The only numbers I can give you are the pyglet .egg download statistics from googlecode: 60 pyglet-1.0beta3-py2.5.egg 3 pyglet-1.0beta2-py2.5.egg 10 pyglet-1.0beta1-py2.5.egg 7 pyglet-1.0alpha2-py2.4.egg 45 pyglet-1.0alpha1-py2.5.egg 2 pyglet-1.0beta3-py2.4.egg 1 pyglet-1.0beta2-py2.4.egg 2 pyglet-1.0beta1-py2.4.egg 6 pyglet-1.0alpha2-py2.4.egg 28 pyglet-1.0alpha1-py2.4.egg >From alpha2 onwards the .egg files have not been published on the pyglet.org download page or the googlecode project "featured downloads" links; so most users of these will be using ez_setup. This population is dwarfed by downloads of the Windows and OS X installers, and the source distro (over 1000 in total for beta2; beta3 is currently around 700). So I don't think anything can be read from the egg numbers. Richard: Python version should be added to the PyWeek poll, especially as the next one is due around 3.0 beta time (and maybe 2.6). I recall most entries being 2.4 compatible but there were some 2.5-only ones using the old-style class parentheses.
