Hi all,
I strongly suggest to not go beyond 2.6 at the moment. All Ubuntu 12.04
machines and RHE6 machines have 2.6 as their default, and that matches
with our previous assumptions also regarding gcc etc.
I agree with Steve that we can consider a move to 2.7, but it should be
for stronger reasons that saving a few lines of code.
I suggest we revert the change for now.
I want to keep the changeset for a little while and see if users complain
about it. The versions of Linux you mention are going to be around for a
significant amount of time, so I do not want to base my decision on their
lifetime. If any organization is internally using those Linux and it is
hard for the users to move to python 2.7, then we should revert the
changeset immediately. Otherwise, I prefer waiting for the first user
complaint.
