Well, Python 2.1 support is going to be dropped for the next release of Trac.

See ​http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2005-March/002074.html

Minimum required version for trunk is thus Python 2.2.0.

oh well, i see. missed that. guess this should be mentioned in the INSTALL/system requirements/… then.
