Someone suggested me that it was not very useful to support Python 3.1.
From memory, I think the arguments were that it is not widely used,
Python 3 adopters may be more prone to updating to 3.2 quickly, many
people go from 2.7 to 3.2 or wait for the memory improvements in 3.3,
and the codebase is more complicated because 3.1 doesn’t have
__pycache__ directories. So, do you think it is worth it to support 3.1?
On the same note, do we still care about 2.4? Having to build _hashlib
is a pain, especially on Windows.

Thanks for the replies. I will remove 2.4 compatibility kludges in the
code in the coming weeks, but keep 2.5 compat. I’m less sure about 3.1,
I think I’ll ask the wider crowd on distutils-sig.
Cheers
