llvm dev - Dec 2010 - [LLVMdev] Python requirement

Hi all,
I've built llvm + clang on OS X 10.4 :
Darwin 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 18:26:00 PDT
2007; root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc


However, make check-all fails immediately with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/useruser/LLVM/llvm/utils/lit/lit.py", line 4, in ?
    import lit
  File "/Users/useruser/LLVM/llvm/utils/lit/lit/__init__.py", line 3,
in ?
    from main import main
  File "/Users/useruser/LLVM/llvm/utils/lit/lit/main.py", line 12, in
?
    import TestRunner
  File "/Users/useruser/LLVM/llvm/utils/lit/lit/TestRunner.py", line
254
    out += 'Command %d: %s\n' % (i, '
'.join('"%s"' % s for s in cmd.args))
                                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make[1]: *** [check-local-all] Error 1
make: *** [check-all] Error 2

I suspect this is because Python 2.3.5 is too old for lit. However,
there is no mention of Python in the LLVM requirements
(http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#software).
What is the minimum level of Python ?

Good morning Csaba,

Here;
http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html#requirements
> In order to use the LLVM testing infrastructure, you will need all of the
software required to build LLVM, as well as Python 2.4 or later.
Confirmed with Python-2.4.3 on CentOS5.
