huge amounts of pure Python code broken by Python 2.5?

Interesting. Could you give a few illustrations of this? (I didn't run
into the same problem at all, so I'm curious.)

I can't think of any of my code that got broken and it fixed a
broken SSL problem (on Windows) that I was fighting.

At a guess, the most likely thing to break code in job lots in 2.5 was
the change in default coding from latin-1 (or whatever the
installation has the default set to) to ascii.

This would have a tendency to break most modules that depended on the
default source coding. Fortunately, the fix is (not quite trivially)
easy - just scan the library and put the right coding comment in the
front.

And that has given a warning since 2.3...

I'd like to know, too. I have the same code running in 2.4 and 2.5,
and I've had the following problems:

1. Bug [ 1651995 ] sgmllib _convert_ref UnicodeDecodeError exception,
new in 2.5
(a patch to sgmllib._convert_ref appears to have broken something)
(This might be the switch from Latin-1 to ascii as default, now that
I think about it.)

2. MySQLdb isn't fully supported for Python 2.5 yet, and there's no tested
Windows executable available, although there's an untested version from
a World of Warcraft guild available.

3. M2Crypto has versioning issues between Python, SWIG, gcc, and OpenSSL,
and getting everything to play together can be difficult. This is
a packaging issue; major Linux distros aren't shipping a compatible set of
components.

But my own pure Python code is working fine in both version of Python,
and on both Windows and Linux.

As Andy Dustman has pointed out a number of times, he doesn't do Windows.
Someone in the MySQLdb community who does use Windows is going to have to
fill that void.

I have seen breakage in Zope, due to the switch from old-style
exceptions to new-style
exceptions.

well I have managed to build both extant versions (MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 &
MySQL-python-1.2.2b2) from source with the aid of Mr Dustman's comments in the
site.cfg files and a very minor hack to the earlier version. I had to have the
sources for Mysql available as well, but that probably comes with the territory.
It seems the very latest version won't play well with earlier MySQL so I used
MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 as we are still using some 4.0.27 databases.

Given that I used a particular version of MySQL, 5.0.33, to build against I'm
not certain that my builds are useful for everyone. I copy here the differences
I had to make to the source to get stuff to build and run against stock win32

There are about half a dozen examples linked from here:

http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1867

Check out the closed ticket linked from there or the changesets for more
detail.
The changes listed dont' seem particularly huge considering the size,
complexity, and boundary-pushingness of Twisted, coupled with the
magnitude of the 2.5 release.

I have converted our 100 kloc from 2.4 to 2.5. It was relatively
painless, and 2.5 has features we couldn't live without.

Just out of curiosity, what features in 2.5 can you not live without? I just
migrated to 2.5, but haven't had much time to check out the cool new features.

Robin may be right, but the resulting binaries are here (not
supported, use at your own risk):

Most important being the finalization of generators, which allowed me
to implement remote-rpc-yield elegantly. It would have been possible
to do this using iterator classes, I admit.

with statements have also been a wonderful addition -- like decorators
for code blocks!
