I run a stable CherryPy app on 2.6 . It was a bit painful for about a week after 2.6 came out, but became stable pretty fast.

There are a whole lot of possibilities for a "webapp stack" in python. What are you running your sites on top of?

The Python LDAP and psycopg2 libraries are my biggest culprits.

My point is not that it's impossible to run 2.6; but setting it up requires a level of sophistication with Python/*nix that I can't put on the shoulders of my organization, yet.

If I were working with a couple of smart hackers, this would be a non-issue. But my feeling is my organization is like a lot of others, where anything that's not a tagged, stable "sudo apt-get install" away is not going to fly.

Ahh, yeah it does require a good bit of familiarity with both python and *nix environments.

I'm a lone guy, managing my own servers, with complete control over their environments. That's quite a bit different than a business environment, corporate or not.
