That's a bummer. But I see that RHEL 6 has Python 2.6, so people who use RHEL 6 would be okay. Also fortunately the new Debian comes with 2.6. (I was a bit disappointed that they didn't go for 2.7... But they seem to be a conservative bunch.)
Do I care? I don't know... I'll think about it a bit. On one hand I really want to ditch Python 2.5, it will make me much happier and solve the bug that I'm working on (in the `module_tasting` module...), it will make the code prettier in various places and will save me from having to test on Python 2.5 all the time. On the other hand if it will prevent some people from using GarlicSim, that would be a bummer... So I don't know, I need to think about it.
