Currently the configure test checks for Python 1.5 or newer (because SWIG requires at least that). Should this be changed to 2.0 or 2.1 or what? Cheers, Olly

...declining, the number of people running python3 will only increase. I believe that 2.6 was the first version that had the __future__ import print_function available, which means that python 2.4 and 2.5 would not be able to use print statements if they are to interoperate with py3k. There is also __cmp__() which has been removed in python3 and I saw in a couple places. The bottom line is that basically every guide to porting/interoperating with python3 starts with "step 1: use python 2.6 at least, ideally 2.7". Given the need to interoperate with py3k, the need to get to 2.6 at least is...

...e e.g. the six python 2&3 compatibility library http://pypi.python.org/pypi/six, which supports python 2.4. It also provides a generic print statement. Using such a compatibility library could make sense in general. If it does, python 2.4 support may actual not too involved. > There is also __cmp__() which has been removed in python3 and I saw in > a couple places. That is fine. However, I bet that the replacement code that fixes this is valid python 2.4. > The bottom line is that basically every guide to > porting/interoperating with python3 starts with "step 1: use python &...
