According to the wiki we support Python 2.4 and above but I wonder if people have any thoughts with regards to bumping it? The reason I ask is because I had a user contact me about using Python 2.5 features (str.partition) in relocatable.bbclass, I hadn't even noticed this and seems like not many others have but it's clearly affecting at least one person. I have a pretty trivial (if ugly) patch to work around this, but it raised an interesting question so I thought I'd ask that before sending the patch.
