Hi Dan,

Since python2.6 is the default in Debian Squeeze, I think it would be
ok not to support 2.5 in the future, let us say starting a short time
after the release of Squeeze.

Since Mercurial is a *distributed* version control system, you do not
need to branch. Just clone it in your working directory, then do your
changes and local commits and you will see that there are many ways
for you to share your work, including the simple 'hg bundle' that you
attach to an e-mail sent to the list or the 'hg serve' to publish you
tree from your personnal web server.

I suppose Sylvain was talking about the branch
http://hg.logilab.org/logilab/common/graph/318b3b3a166a that was
committed 17 months ago, but maybe there is something more recent than
that lying around somewhere. The thing is that many things were
changed in logilab-common since that tentative to port it to py3k.

Sylvain, is there anything more recent than that?
