Hi guys,

Im not confortable enough to remove 2.5 just yet. Python 2.4 was quite o= ld and didn't support much of the "modern" features, but that= s not the case with 2.5.

I think I know a lot of people still using 2.5 and just thinking about u= pgrading.

Lets give it some more time...

Best regards,
