[ftputil] Which Python version(s) do you use?

[Andrew Ittner]

I second this comment - I use 2.4.2 currently, always try to remain within 6
months of the latest stable version, and never worry about going backwards.
Yes, please drop support of anything earlier than 2.3.  Frankly, even going
with a minimum of 2.4 would be just as good - assuming that makes your life
easier.
