I'm a little surprised this update makes it compatible with Python 2.5. Didn't that come out in 2006?

- russell 17y agoI remember a post that CPython 2.6 was still in development when they started Jython 2.5. They were making the leap from 2.1 or 2.2 so they didnt want to add an undefined release to the pot.
- bretthoerner 17y agoIt's a lot of work, and 2.5 is still the most used. I think the plans are to go straight to 3.0 from here, rather than release a 2.6 version.
- ubernostrum 17y agoPython 2.5 is a good baseline, since that's what a lot of distributors are shipping. Besides, the syntactic additions made to the language in Python 2.6 are almost all meant to provide a first step toward Python 3.0, or make standard things that were available as future imports in 2.5. So you're not really missing anything there.
