No, of course not; prairiedog is a very very trailing-edge box.
However, we explicitly claim support for Python >= 2.3 in the docs (see
installation.sgml), which is why prairiedog has that version and not
some other one. If we're going to move the goalposts on the minimum
supported version, it should be for a better reason than "I was too
lazy to craft a regression test using sufficiently backwards-compatible
library functions".
