FWIW, the most recent version of pywin32 has the following download
counts (rounded to the nearest thousand)
Version 32bit 64bit
-------------------------
3.2 - 75,000 9,000
3.1 - 4,000 1,000
2.7 - 126,000 16,000
2.6 - 46,000 6,000
2.5 - 21,000 n/a
2.4 - 3,000 n/a
2.3 - 1,000 n/a
So ISTM that 2.5 isn't hugely popular these days, but also isn't
insignificant. It probably means I could "safely" drop 2.3 and 2.4
support though...

Hi All,
What's the general consensus on supporting Python 2.5 nowadays?
Do people still have to use this in commercial environments or is
everyone on 2.6+ nowadays?
I'm finally getting some continuous integration set up for my packages
and it's highlighting some 2.5 compatibility issues. I'm wondering
whether to fix those (lots of ugly "from __future__ import
with_statement" everywhere) or just to drop Python 2.5 support.
What do people feel?
cheers,
Chris
