Django 1.2 dropped support for Python 2.3. In the past, there has been talk of dropping a version of Python per Django release. Python 2.4 is relatively rare these days, but still supported by RHEL.
None of us like coding for it, and I know that several of the core devs have voiced support in IRC for dropping 2.4. I'm asking for an official pronouncement about the matter: Are we dropping support for 2.4 in 1.3? The reason I'm asking strongly for a decision now, rather than putting it off till later is that if we can overcome our inertia and make a public decision, we can all stop coding for 2.4 tomorrow. If we ignore the matter, or put it off till DC.us, we've spent that much more wasted time coding around a set of problems we could have avoided. Trunk currently isn't 2.4 compatible - is this a bug, or an official position? http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14086 For what little it matters, I'm very strongly +1 for dropping 2.4, but let us do it officially. This may be a case where the majority should not win the vote; it may best be decided by executive decision. -Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
