Separate thread sounds good :) This one is still called "Making Python
2.5 a requirement" and that is not the problem here.

I didn't know you could get a 6000 series in PCI.

PCI? No. If you have no free PCI-express slot, then clearly you can't
upgrade easily.

I'm also interested in answers especially that don't involve old
hardware.
This may be a controversial statement, but we're not considering older
hardware at all for Fre

Not just a new API, but semantic changes that might mean a
not-so-straightforward porting

This seems to be the general sentiment so far.

I think it's the case that most distros allow multiple python versions
to coexist fairly easily.

Hi Dischi,

I for my part still prefer Python 2.4, since I'm involved in some
projects that are based on Zope3 releases, which don't run on Python
2.5.
Anyway, Gentoo makes it relatively easy to have several Python versions

Hi,
we are wondering if we can make Python 2.5 a requirement for Freevo 1.8?
It would make things a lot easier in kaa.base (signal handler) and
kaa.metadata (relative imports). So how many users still use Python 2.4
and why?
