I hope this is related enough for this thread, but I'm curious why people didn't seem to unanimously jump into 2.5 upon release.
One reason- having to upgrade all the packages that you've installed is time consuming. Another- we have a very large tools framework where I work. Someone needs to make sure these tools will work with any new version of Python. We use 2.3at the moment, and there is no significant reason to upgrade to 2.4 or 2.5, to justify the time involved in testing all the tools to make sure every line of code is executed with the new version. As far as my home use, I'm still using 2.4, and will keep it that way until I need to install something that requires 2.5.
