Of those of you who would find such a tool interesting/useful, how many of you *only* have access to a computer running Python 2.6?
Such systems include CentOS distributions earlier than 7,
which apparently includes RIPE NCC machines: $ uname -a Linux bastion1.hdp1.ripe.net 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 28 21:11:36 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ whereis python python: /usr/bin/python2.6-config /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib64/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.6 /opt/virtualenv/bin/python2.6 /opt/virtualenv/bin/python /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz $ /usr/bin/python -V Python 2.6.6 bastion1 is a number crunching front end to hadoop, a place where I run Atlas related jobs. Before dropping support for 2.6, can you guys ensure/coordinate 2.7 is available there? Thanks, -- Rene
and corresponding RedHat Enterprise systems. If you’re using Debian, or Ubuntu, you should already have 2.7 by default, and if you’re on Gentoo or Arch, you probably have both 2.7 and 3.5 already. I understand that Apple’s OSX is running 2.7 these days as well.
If I don’t get a wave of messages about how very important 2.6 is to your collective health and wellbeing, I’m going to consider this a non-issue and drop support for 2.6.
Thanks for your input everyone :-)
