I had arrived to some of your conclusion. I had committed some code that I have only a few seconds later realized that was already in your patch. My bad. :-) Regarding the support for older versions of python 2 we already test both using the autotools ( >= 2.7.0 ) and cmake (>= 2.6). So that that is not a problem. I think that we should use an uniform requirement. python 2.6 can probably work, and python 2.7 works surely. So, please, commit your patch. Regards, -- José Abílio
