Hi, Triggered by a build error due to html2text.py, I have recently started with adding Python 3 support to various Python scripts[1][2]. The change to html2text.py[1] was tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.4. The configure script however checks for Python >= 2.5 which was first released in 2006 with the last security update in 2011. This version also lacks support for nice language constructs such as 'with'. checklicenses.py is already incompatible with this. Any objections if this gets bumped to 2.6 or even 2.7? The dfilter-test.py script already requires 2.7 (or newer).
Hi Peter, the OSX 10.5 x86 buildbot still runs Python 2.5, so bumping the minimum Python version would require updating the buildbot. So it's better to keep compatibility for the scripts used during build steps. Pascal.
