ongoing python 2.5 pullup

Hello,

Guys, is everybody sure that its time to update 2.4 version to 2.5? I'm not fully sure.
The problem is that there are a lots of libraries that don't work with 2.5 because of removed deprecated libraries and functions which was changed with new.
First example is twisted and a pack of jabber libraries. Also it seems that gajim client is not working with 2.5 without any problems.

Maybe lets wait a little with new python pullup into current?

Re: ongoing python 2.5 pullup

as for gajim, you should try the svn version and it the problem persists, contact the devs at http://trac.gajim.org/newticket
they are very fast with fixing such stuff, but i'm pretty sure the svn version already works with 2.5.

yes, i know about gajim team but gajim was only one example. I'm sure that this update will break some applications.

avb: python 2.5 is in testing, and will be there until all applications are working. that's the whole point of testing, a staging area.

if you don't want breakages, don't run testing.
