[eoxserver-dev] Minimum supported version of Python

[Martin Paces]

Thanks, Stephan,

I will take it into consideration. Usually, the new Python features are 
rather convenient to use but not indispensable.

Unless you intend to process large data (>4GiB) on 64bits OS (2.4 uses 
always 32bit array indices) 2.4 should work just fine.

Cheers
Martin
