Installing Mercurial 1.4.3 - Python Requirement?

Is it ok if I install Python 2.6.4 instead of the 2.4 requirement listed on the Mercurial website?

I'm fairly new to Mercurial and Python. My general impression of Python is that newer versions break compatibility with older versions.

If Python is currently at 2.6开发者_StackOverflow社区.4 and Mercurial 1.4.3 lists Python 2.4 as a requirement, maybe they are strictly limiting to Python 2.4 only?

2.4 is a minimum requirement. 2.6.4 is fine.
