Ken Giusti commented on PROTON-199:
-----------------------------------
To clarify the previous comment: I was able to install the necessary UUID
libraries on my Centos 5.9 system by enabling the EPEL repo and installing the
python-uuid package from that repo.
The previous patch only addresses the use of the new "bytes" type (an alias for
'str') - the UUID issue is left unresolved (and thus not closing this bug).
To fix the UUID compatibility issue, I was planning on copying the method used
in the QPID python sources - see qpid/python/qpid/datatypes.py
> [Proton-c] Python binding requires python 2.6+
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: PROTON-199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-199
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: proton-c
> Affects Versions: 0.3
> Environment: python versions < 2.5
> Reporter: Ken Giusti
> Priority: Minor
>
> Python bindings make use of (at least two) python language features that
> require python versions newer than 2.5:
> - uuid
> - bytes
> In order to support older versions of the python language, these features
> would have to be removed, or a compatibility layer would need to be provided.
