3.2.1 is available in debian squeeze (the current stable version). Since debian is usually the most outdated linux distro it should not be a problem to require python 3 if it is avialable on OS X as well. If we stay with python 2 I'd say that 2.6 is a safe minimum requirement. This could be raised to 2.7 as soon as RHEL 7 and debian wheezy are released. BTW I don't see any maintenance burden if we stay with version 2 for another year or so, as long as we don't support both versions at the same time. Georg
