Hi Andrew,

nice to read you again :)

Personally, I would like to go with Python 2.4. I'm inclined to
always use the newest version my Gentoo Linux has as "stable".

When asking my question I had rather those people in mind which work
for an employer where the IT infrastructure is difficult for them
to influence. For example, such an ftputil user might not be able to
update to a recent Python version without discussing it with the
whole IT department or management. Ok, perhaps such scenarios are
not as frequent as Dilbert cartoons suggest. ;-)

So now the question doesn't no longer seem to be if ftputil should
require Python 2.2.1, but rather if ftputil should/could require an
even higher version! Python 2.3 or 2.4? ftputil users, speak up! :-)

Stefan
