According to the ComputerWorld source listed by Wikipedia[1], OS X 10.5 became unsupported since June 2011. Python 2.5 also does not receive security updates anymore. (OS X 10.6 has Python 2.7 which is still supported.) Are there OS version usage statistics available for Wireshark? -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl PS. could someone review changes https://code.wireshark.org/review/7778 and https://code.wireshark.org/review/7779, without these changes the build fail on systems where Python 3 is the default.
