> Python 2.6 compatibility and test on CI
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3515
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3515
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python - Library
> Reporter: Aki Sukegawa
> Assignee: Aki Sukegawa
> Priority: Minor
>
> There were a few trivial problems with Python 2.6.
> * format string '{}' is not supported
> * bytearray cannot be used as str
> While we can drop 2.6 support now, IMO there isn't enough motivation yet.
> With 2.7.9 enhancement for SSL, it makes sense to me to drop 2.7.8- once
> major distros have 2.7.9+. (jessie has 2.7.9 but trusty still has 2.7.6 amd
> CentOS 7, 2.7.5)
> With the patch, it should be now fully compatible with 2.6.
> I also added Travis build that runs python test with Python 2.6 on CentOS 6.
> For some reason I had to adjust CMake script to successfully configure
> without C++ and C-GLib.
