I believe he means that upstream python does not intend to make any further releases of python 2.6. > Anyone doing development or test on RHEL 6 (which doesn't have python > 2.7) is going to have an issue with this. Yeah. Us dropping support for 2.6 right now is not an option. It is worth noting that it's possible we might have more and more problems over time with libraries or tools we consume ceasing to care about 2.6 - but thusfar we're in good shape and regularly test all of openstack on 2.6. > > Thanks, > > *MATT RIEDEMANN* > Advisory Software Engineer > Cloud Solutions and OpenStack Development > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *Phone:*1-507-253-7622| *Mobile:*1-507-990-1889* > E-mail:*_mrie...@us.ibm.com_ <mailto:mrie...@us.ibm.com> > IBM > > 3605 Hwy 52 N > Rochester, MN 55901-1407 > United States > > > > > > > From: Robert Collins <robe...@robertcollins.net> > To: OpenStack Development Mailing List > <openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org>, > Date: 07/17/2013 04:13 AM > Subject: [openstack-dev] headsup - transient test failures on > py26 ' cannot import name OrderedDict' > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > Python 2.6 isn't one of the official supported Pythons for > testrepository, and I managed to break that when I fixed tests on > Python3.3 (which has more random dicts).
