[Buildbot-devel] require python-2.5 on the server in Buildbot-1.0?

[Axel Hecht]

I was thinking about the version requirements, too. I didn't go as far
as to say 2.5, I did think about dropping 2.3, though.

That might just be me not having enough guts.

FWIW, I think that our reference platforms are all on python 2.5 by
now here at mozilla.
