#282: Update minimum python version requirement to 2.6 --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 0.5.0 Component: core | Keywords: --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Supporting RHEL-5 (python-2.4) isn't fun. The packaging and python support is so dramatically different. I'd like to upgrade our autoqa/autotest server to use RHEL-6. I'd consider using a stable Fedora release, but as tflink pointed out, I'm even less excited about updating our infrastructure every 6 months.
This ticket is intended to track: 1. Removal of the epel-5 packages and repositories 2. Any code updates/simplification (e.g. use of finally)

For me, the only outstanding question for this ticket is whether autoqa.spec needs to be updated to ensure python > 2.4 is available (or python >= 2.6). Aside from a simple ''Requires: python >= 2.6'', I'm not sure if more work is needed, or if there is a more appropriate method.
The python packaging page doesn't highlight anything obvious at the moment (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python). Perhaps it might help to look for other packages that require specific versions of python?
