2.6 should be
the new minimum version. But we have the unicode bug
with all releases from 2.5 upto 2.7.1. This means 2.7.2 is the
release which is strongly recommended I think.
...as mentioned fedora uses newer python but "just" 2.7.1... I think you
are right and the day we can go officially to 2.7.2 will become a
"delightful holiday", but meanwhile I think this is slightly more
radical than useful. Even the toolserver still uses a patched 2.7.1 (but
2.7.1 still... ;)) In my environment the 2.7.1 seems to be the magic and
only one important... :)
What I said before ;)
Unfortunately we cannot fix other previous 2.7.2 releases regarding unicode bug which
means that code is running on owners risk (and I don't take responsibility to it ;)
