-The Calendar Server was implemented using Python 2.4. A number of
-things would need to happen to get it to run using Python 2.3:
-
- * All libraries the server depends on will need to work on Python 2.3.
-   vObject is known to require Python 2.4.
- * We use several Python 2.4 features.  Most are easy enough to back-port,
-   but nice to use if you have them:
-   * [http://www.python.org/doc/2.4/whatsnew/node2.html built-in set objects]
-   * [http://www.python.org/doc/2.4/whatsnew/node4.html generator expressions]
-   * [http://www.python.org/doc/2.4/whatsnew/node6.html decorator syntax]
+The Calendar Server was implemented using Python 2.5. Backporting to earlier Python releases might be possible, however we use a number of language constructs specific to 2.5 that might make that hard.
