which Python version as a prerequisite?

Hi all

Blake Winton and Robert Wall commented on the checkins I made lately.

Blake pointed out that he would prefer if the Request/Response classes
would inherit from object. I had previously removed that to solve
problems with making the Request class iterable. These problems have
meanwhile been solved (thanks to Blake) so my code is now happy
inheriting from object and still doing the iterable stuff.

Robert Wall pointed out that inheriting from object means that you need
at least Python 2.2+ while the INSTALL docs for Pyblosxom say you only
need Python 2.1.

So, which way to go?

As of my understanding the "inherit from object" stuff is cool cause you
can use super() to call superclass methods and therefor can change their
names as you like without having to update 127 references throughout the
code. Are there any other reasons why this is considered to be better?

Is it a problem if Pyblosxom depends on Python 2.2+?
As I run my own server and can install whatever Python I need/like I
have no idea how it looks like out in the wild. What Python version has
sourceforge got for example?

Anyway, just wanted to ask before comitting a patch that breaks stuff.

regards
Steven
