move to Python 2.x?

2001-10-24 Thread Bill Janssen
I'm wondering if the world is ready for the next release of Plucker to require Python 2.x? Everything in the current distiller seems to work (on Unix) with 1.5.2, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, but I'm thinking that we'd like to take advantage of the better support for character sets and XML parsing in 2.x.
