Hi all,
For those on RHEL6 or a derivative, please note that RHEL Software Collections
will provide an installation source for Python 2.7 and 3.3, as well as Postgres
9.2 and both MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5, and works for RHELs 6.2-6.4.
Furthermore, "With the notable exception of Node.js, all Red Hat Software
Collections components are fully supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux Subscription
Level Agreements, are functionally complete, and are intended for production use."

I ran across this announcement via Nick Coghlan.
So, there's a supported version of Python 2.7 and 3.3 for RHEL 6, which should
make Python deprecation choices easier. I would suggest that the above link get
some mention in the documentation, as this will make things much easier to sell
in shops that value stability and support, if this alternative solution is
better known.
Regards,
---Peter

As far as I can tell, there's a consensus on dropping support for Python 2.6.
That will allow us to remove the vendored copy of unittest2 and to take
advantage of datastructures introduced in Python 2.7 like OrderedDict.
Oh yes, getting rid of our vendored unittest2 is totally worth it (debugging
failures when someone imports from below django.utils.unittest2 is no fun)!
Cheers,

Thanks Peter.
This is the first I've seen this. I think I'll check with those at
CentOS to see if they are supporting this and if not if they have any
plans to do so.
