I just visited the python.org website and found that 2.5 does not get
security fixes anymore. The last release was in May 26th, 2011.
What's the policy for which Python versions SymPy should support?
Possible reasons to keep 2.5 support:
Note that it is possible to run unsafe software if you
One of the main reasons to keep 2.5 support was for the App Engine,
but I believe it now supports 2.7. I don't know of any major features
from 2.6 that we're missing. I guess you could check the compatibility
file to get an idea. I know it's not even close to the way it was with
2.4. I couldn't wai
If this is a vote, I vote for dropping 2.5.
The app engine does support 2.7. You can not install 2.5 in the
latests debian (from the official repos). If you are stuck on an old
platform compiling 2.7 in home is *extremely* easy (you must have
gcc).

Note that the main reason to keep Python 2.5 support would be for
people who don't have enough control over their system to install or
compile Python 2.6 or 2.7.

Now I'm curious: What difference between 2.4 and 2.5 is making 2.4
support-unworthy and 2

Executive summary:
From my perspective, I think that
- the language and stdlib changes of 2.6 would be Nice To Have (TM)
- the security issues are relevant enough to warrant dropping 2.5
- the case for keeping 2.5 is user base.
Do we have data that allows us to judge its relevance?

People should be warned in good time, to have time to switch. ¿What
about announcing that next released version will have 2.5 support, but
after that it will be dropped?

Yes, I think we would do that. We went to a lot of trouble to release
0.6.7 with Python 2.4 support before we dropped it, and it worked out,
so I think it's a good plan for future Python version support drops
(which shouldn't be nearly as hard, until we drop Python 2 support).

Another reason to keep Python 2.5 (for more time) support :
- some mobile OS only have Python 2.5.x, like Maemo 4 (Nokia N8x0),
Maemo 5 (Nokia N900) and Symbian (many smartphones);
- softwares (SymPy Interactive Shell, Integrate, Derivative and Limit)
using SymPy on Maemo 5 OS have 100-150 t

That convinces me too. Let's ask again in a year and see if the
situation has changed.

I'll consider that when doing the writeup for the testing environment.
