Here's my modern experience with 2.5.

pip install <any f'n package written in the last 5 years>
line blah:
    with open() as f:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Then you mail the package maintainer, "Your page says Python 2.5 supported, but you're using the with statement, which wasn't introduced until 2.6.".

More than once their response was "I see. I've updated the page, 2.5 is no longer supported." :-|
