I'm lucky in that the company I work for are developing with
IronPython. That means I get to use Python 2.4. I'm appreciating the
joy of sets and decorators. :-)

I doubt we will move to 2.5 until that is the standard stable version
of IronPython.

For most of my own projects I try to maintain compatibility with 2.3,
as it is still very common. For CGI stuff I try to remain 2.2
compatible, because that is the default version of Python on many
web-hosts (and Linux distros).
