Hi Andreas, Speaking for myself only, I can say that python2.7 works fine. The restriction is that the version of hg that we have was linked to python2.7 and has some code that is incompatible with >python2.7. As far as I have seen so far, the only problem was the autojunk parameter.

I¹ll look into it and push a patch that fixes this. In practice, we seem to depend on Python 2.6 for things like declaring abstract methods in interfaces, the with statement, the multiprocessing package, advanced string formatting, and probably a lot of other things as well. I have updated the wiki to reflect this. We should probably consider changing the requirement to Python 2.7 since that¹s what most users are likely to use. None of the currently supported Ubuntu versions ship with anything older than 2.7.3. Let¹s save that for another thread though. //Andreas On 13/04/2016, 21:45, "Gross, Joe" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi Andreas, > >This checkin recently made it downstream to our internal repo and I >notice that you've added a SequenceMatcher with the autojunk parameter. >Currently gem5 claims to require python 2.5-2.7 >(http://www.m5sim.org/Dependencies).
