Re: [pygame] Python 1.5 Compatability
I'm new to the world of Pygame, but I agree with the others when they
say that mantaining compatibility for this kind of software isn' t
important. And if somebody would need to use python < 2.x, they would
still be able to use some older version of Pygame.

With every pygame release it is becoming more work to maintain
compatability with the oldish python 1.5. At some point it is probably
going to be easier to drop it, and clean all the current workarounds.
At this point people are starting to find things that run slower, only
because they are using 'outdated' python techniques.
My current plan is to either drop the 1.5 support now, or make the
next pygame release the last with the old compatability stuff. I'm
mainly wondering if anyone has any interest in this anyways. Just
looking for some feedback on this for now.
