Google uses many versions of Python including 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4.  Though
2.4 is relatively new.  I hope to start introducing Python 2.5 sometime
next year.  Mid-year is about as early as it could possibly happen, and
is likely to be much later.  We need to kill off older versions (2.2
and 2.3) first.

Mostly it depends on the size of the company/source code
base/installations.  The smaller these are, the easier it is (should
be) to move to a new version.
