ah and there you prove the point against your suggestion. LOTS of people 
still use Python 2.3. Lots. 2.4 is just now becoming relatively common. 
Most people are not running 2.5.

Remember a lot of Django users use hosting services. It is not trivial 
for many of these people to get the latest and greatest Python.
