5715	Get rid of references and code specific to Python 2.5	vperic		"After ticket #5553 officially drops Python 2.5 support, we should get rid of code referencing Python 2.5 specifically. This should probably only be done after #5386 (the same for Python 2.3) and #5387 (2.4).

Some of these comments can be removed, some might require the removal of code as well; grep gives the following mentions of Python 2.5:
