That depends on the extent to which you rely strictly on the standard
Python library.  If there's any likelihood that you will want to use
random third-party libraries, you probably want to stick with 2.x; ditto
if you want to rely on your users having their own copy of Python (in
which case you probably should target Python 2.4).
