Hi all,

It seems like Python 2.4 has something for everyone.  It introduces
generator expressions, @-syntax decorators and the subprocess module. It
improves unittest and difflib.

All major distros offer Python 2.4 in their latest releases, so
it should be available to most people.  Having a single target for
compatibility would reduce the number of accidental breakages.  Is there
any reason we shouldn't require 2.4 for bzr?

After all, one of the reasons we're using Python is because it makes
life easier for the developers, and Python 2.4 would make it easier still.
