http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html currently mentions Python 2.5 as a minimum required version. I'd like to use argparse <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html> in a script and be able to test this script. This requires Python 2.7. This version has been around since 2010, and afaiu, is available on all modern platforms.

AFAIK, 2.5 is minimum for running automated tests with lit. If your script does not run as part of lit, you are less constrained. For instans, utils/sort_includes.py uses argparse Eli On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 5:11 PM, Alexander Kornienko <alexfh at google.com> wrote:> http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html currently mentions Python 2.5 as > a minimum required version.

As much as I like killing support for Python 2.6 and below, RHEL is usually the blocker. They still have 2.4 under support. Only the RHEL that was released a few weeks ago finally has 2.7.> On Jun 25, 2014, at 17:11, Alexander Kornienko <alexfh at google.com> wrote: > > http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html currently mentions Python 2.5 as a minimum required version.

Yeah, RHEL... Then I'm going to add a lit feature (say, python27) to guard the test of my python script on it with REQUIRES:.
