[LLVMdev] About python requirement, can down to 2.6 for rhel 6?
Hello, I notice llvm begin require python atleast 2.7, Then I saw the commit log>>> Require python 2.7. >>> >>> We were already requiring 2.5, which meant that people on old linux distros >>> had to upgrade anyway. >>> >>> Requiring python 2.6 will make supporting 3.X easier as we can use the 3.X >>> exception syntax. >>> >>> According to the discussion on llvmdev, there is not much value is requiring >>> just 2.6, we may as well just require 2.7.I'm using rhel 6 so the default python version is still 2.6, down the requirement to 2.6 will help rhel 6 a little bit. Here is python 2.7 features https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.7.html Is these fetures must be use? Ofcource I can build python 2.7 myself or use rhel software collections, but it will make the software I built on llvm require python 2.7 too. If python 2.6 is ok I hope llvm require this version for the years until switch to python 3. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[LLVMdev] About python requirement, can down to 2.6 for rhel 6?
As I known SUSE 11 still use python 2.6 and will support until 2020 (same to python 2), Python 2.6 still have wide usage for enterprise. The previous discussion said rhel / centos 6 use python 2.4 but that's not true, they use 2.6.5 when 6.0 come out. Regards.

Can you describe why this is a specific problem for you w.r.t. LLVM?
