Nathaniel Cook commented on THRIFT-1762:
----------------------------------------
We are running a RHEL5 environment too and find it easy enough to just install
python26 and use it. All of the code we have written that consumes python
thrift already requires 2.6. That is just my experiences with my company. I
didn't look back to see when the breaking changes were made, but I wonder if
anyone is using python 2.4 and what version of thrift they are using.
> Python minimum version needs to be increased

> The python library code requires python >= 2.6 This can be seen with several
> "except Exception as x:" all throughout the code. Since this code has been
> release already in 0.9.0 we should just increase the minimum python version
> from 2.4 to 2.6
