RHEL appears determined to stay with Python 2.6 and I guess many other
have to as well. I was originally for the 2.7 floor to get at all the
backports of 3.3 stuff as and when. However if there are many SCons
users in need of executing on 2.6, and now that we know many projects
who are being Python 2 and Python 3 compliant are choosing 2.6, 2.7 and
3.3+ as their compliance list and succeeding (*), I wonder if SCons
should revert the 2.7 floor decision and consider a 2.6 floor decision.


(*) 2,5 and earlier are ignored as are 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.
