    This is being done to let us move forwards with 2.7/3.x compatibility

    with the minimum of baggage.

    ReportLab 2.7 was the last packaged version to suppo0rt Python 2.5 and 2.6.

    Python 2.3 users may still use ReportLab 2.4 or any other bugfixes

    derived from it, and Python 2.4 users may use ReportLab 2.5.  

    Python 2.2 and below need to use released versions beginning with 

    1.x (e.g. 1.21), or snapshots or checkouts from our 'version1' branch.

    Our current plan is to remove Python 2.5 compatibility on our next release,

    allowing us to use the 2to3 tool and work on Python 3.0 compatibility.

    If you have a choice, Python 2.7.x is best long term version to use.
