1 Hi guys,
2
3 Im not confortable enough to remove 2.5 just yet. Python 2.4 was quite old
4 and didn't support much of the "modern" features, but thats not the case
5 with 2.5.
6
7 I think I know a lot of people still using 2.5 and just thinking about
8 upgrading.
9
10 Lets give it some more time...

12 Best regards,
