[Buildbot-devel] Pyth­on-2.5 compatibility with­ 0.9.0?

[vasslitvinov at pisem.net]

This. Python 2.5 is pretty old IMHO.

I'd support dropping 2.6 as well. If someone needs to run Buildbot on older systems one could always install newer Python (I, for example, am running Buildbot 0.8.7 on RHEL4u8 and MacOS X 10.6 without much fuss).

Currently supported Buildbot dependencies (Twisted, zope.interface, 

Jinja2) already dropped Python 2.5 support.
