Unless you manage to convince the upper ladder (using e.g. the experts-
framework mailing list to discuss it), I  would recommend light forks:
currently nobody at openerp tests the server, addons or clients using
Python 2.5, and as a result the code is going to break all the time
(it's already broken as usages of explicitly relative imports were
merged in both addons and web project today).

Otherwise, you'll have to provide patches and argue for their merging
every other day, and it will likely require more efforts on your part as
well than just maintaining a basic 2.5 fork.

Title:
  OpenERP 6.1 does not support Python 2.5

Status in OpenERP Web:
  Won't Fix
Status in OpenERP Server:
  New

Bug description:
  It was decided to drop support for Python 2.5 in OpenERP 6.1.
  Now it requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 to work.

  I suggest to preserve minimal non-official support for 2.5 in this
  release, to support some platforms which are still running Python 2.5
  as default.

  I did this compatibility patch because I had to install it on a test server which was still running Debian Lenny.
  I create this bug to attach the patches I use to make 'server', 'web' and 'addons' compatible.

  If this proposal is rejected, it can serve as a reference for any user
  which cares about Python 2.5.
