Make cqlsh look for a suitable python version
---------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3457
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3457
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tools
Reporter: paul cannon
Assignee: paul cannon
Priority: Minor
On RHEL 5, which I guess we still want to support, the default "python" in the
path is still 2.4. cqlsh does use a fair number of python features introduced
in 2.5, like collections.defaultdict, functools.partial, generators. We can
require RHEL 5 users to install a later python from EPEL, but we'd have to call
it as 'python2.5', or 'python2.6', etc.
So rather than take the time to vet everything against python2.4, we may want
to make a wrapper script for cqlsh that checks for the existence of python2.7,
2.6, and 2.5, and calls the appropriate one to run the real cqlsh.
