You should be able to safely just call 'python' (and use Python 2
features). People still using Python 1.5.2 and who do not wish to
upgrade should be able to make the change from calling python to calling
python1.5 for themselves -- such people should be in the minority these
days (three years down the track from Python having been released).

These are really nice tools, by the way (and I, for one, am grateful you
wrote them in Python, but that is irrelevant to their functionality).
