Any will do. bzr runs smoothly on the last stable Debian too. I find
it nice to have developers and users reporting bugs on various
platforms and configuration, so the best is probably to use a platform
that no one else is using ;-).

Up to now, bzr is supposed to work with python >= 2.4. It's quite
important to keep bzr portable (and therefore 2.4 compatibility),
since this is an essential tool for multi-platform development, so I
think breaking compatibility with 2.4 will have to wait for a long
time.

That said, I'm not a core developer, just an occasional contributor.
