Since I haven't used Python at work, I am using Python 2.5 right now.
However I wonder, how fast are you guys moving from version to version
at work? As an illustration my ex-company just moved to Java 5, which
was released around... what, 2-3 years ago? (While I am running Java 6
at home)
Is it the same in the Python world? What version of Python is used in,
say, Google? Is it even 2.4 yet?

Raynow. However I wonder, how fast are you guys moving from version
Rayto version at work?
At my day job (a trading firm) we moved from 2.3 to 2.4 a couple months ago.
At home I use whatever's in CVS. For my moonlighting job (mojam.com) I
still use 2.3 because that's what /usr/bin/python is on the web server
(which tummy.com administers) and I don't feel like messing with yet another
separate install.

for ones 2.5 is not consider production code yet so noone should be
running anything on it. same with 1.6.
on the java side my company is still stuck at 1.4, some prod servers
ar 1.3 :) , and my branch moved to 1.5 like 2 months ago. but again I
wont use anything that is in release candidates for production. but
thats just me

Yes, certainly, in fact in a lot of companies I've worked for the
criteria for upgrading is when the Vendor is about to stop supporting
it :) But are there many companies using Python 2.4 even now though, I
wonder?

Nah, not just you, at work we'd be equally cautious as well. Which
feels funny sometimes because publications and magazines will start
discussing Java 1.6 even now and we know that it's still probably at
least 3-4 years away before we get to use it at work.

Google uses many versions of Python including 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. Though
2.4 is relatively new. I hope to start introducing Python 2.5 sometime
next year. Mid-year is about as early as it could possibly happen, and
is likely to be much later. We need to kill off older versions (2.2
and 2.3) first.
Mostly it depends on the size of the company/source code
base/installations. The smaller these are, the easier it is (should
be) to move to a new version.

fwiw, I work on systems that runs on 1.5.2, 2.1, 2.3 and "bleeding edge".

that's completely ignoring how Python's developed, though. if you know what you're
doing, using stable (*) betas or release candidates can be an excellent idea.

I can't tell for Google, and we're certainly a much much smaller
company, but FWIW, we mostly use 2.4.3 (we still have a 2.3.x for
compatibility with some old zope install).

I'm lucky in that the company I work for are developing with
IronPython. That means I get to use Python 2.4. I'm appreciating the
joy of sets and decorators. :-)
I doubt we will move to 2.5 until that is the standard stable version
of IronPython.
For most of my own projects I try to maintain compatibility with 2.3,
as it is still very common. For CGI stuff I try to remain 2.2
compatible, because that is the default version of Python on many
web-hosts (and Linux distros).

At our company, we build a product on top of Debian (product line 1)
or Ubuntu (product line 2, not released yet), so we stick to what's
available in the Debian/Ubuntu versions we're using.
That means 2.3 on Debian and 2.4 on Ubuntu. 2.5 will probably arrive
whenever we upgrade to the upcoming Ubuntu release, though I've
already tried manually upgrading a system to 2.5, and our code ran
without changes or apparent problems.

I would need to make some high-reliability software
running on Linux in an embedded system. Performance
(or lack of it) is not an issue, reliability is.
The piece of software is rather simple, probably a
few hundred lines of code in Python. There is a need
to interact with network using the socket module,
and then probably a need to do something hardware-
related which will get its own driver written in
C.
