[IPython-dev] 2.6 dependencies in 0.11?

[Brian Granger]

Yes, IPython requires Python 2.6 and above.  Keeping 2.5 support would
have made the move to Python 3 almost impossible.  At this point, the
code base has many 2.6 and above specific things, I am afraid it is
not as simple as adding __future__ imports.

Cheers,

Brian
