I will check the source of the Python interface tomorrow to see how 
difficult it would be to backport these changes to Python 2.5. 
@foo.setter is a nice touch that I really liked in Python 2.6; maybe 
there is an easy workaround to keep these changes while still supporting 
Python 2.5.

As of version 0.6, the Python interface of igraph will support Python 
3.x, but Python 2.x support will not be dropped at all. I myself have 
not adopted Python 3.x so far and it is unlikely that I will do so in 
the near future (due to lack of Py3.x support for NumPy/SciPy and many 
other packages I use). So, these are for sure:

igraph 0.6 will support Python 3.1 and above
igraph 0.6 will support Python 2.6 and above
igraph 0.6 MAY support Python 2.5 if I find it easy enough to backport 
my recent changes to Python 2.6

Best,
