Supposed to, yes. But, as a practical matter, very few people actually use
Python less than 2.2 these days, so it is extremely easy for modern Python
styles to creep in, and remain undetected for a while.

I suppose, if we are serious about python 2.0 compat, we ought to see if any
of the people running svn-breakage systems would be willing to arrange for
the tests to run with an old python.
