---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 There was a time when there was a bug in Tahoe when used with Python 2.6.
 I forget the details -- maybe it had to do with Nevow using "with" as a
 variable name?  Possibly there was more than one.  Anyway, that time is
 long past, as we have a python 2.6 buildbot which has been consistently
 happy for a long time.  So our deb packages should relax their
 requirements from {{{python < 2.6}}} to {{{python <= 2.6}}} (or possibly
 {{{python >= 2.4.2 && python < 3}}}?)

 Dash can't install the deb's on Ubuntu 9.04 because some other packages
 ({{{gobject-introspection}}}, {{{compiz}}}, {{{gimp}}} require {{{python
 >= 2.6}}}.
