I find myself wanting to use the 'with' statement in the test suite, which was introduced in Python 2.5 Python 2.5 was released 5.5 years ago, and while I'm sure somebody on some archaic platform somewhere doesn't have it installed, I think we can reasonably assume that Python 2.5 is generally available. For reference, we currently require and SQLite that is only 2.5-years-old.
(And for the historically minded among us, let's please don't repeat the same bikeshed we had when we bumped to Python 2.4 3 years ago: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2009-01/0266.shtml) I would like to recommend we bump our minimum required version for the test suite and development tools to Python 2.5.
