Todd Lipcon commented on THRIFT-1762:
-------------------------------------
With Cloudera hat on: The issue is that we don't ourselves run thrift, but
rather distribute software which internally uses thrift. Our customers have to
install that software on RHEL5, and they won't (or in some cases can't) install
a different version of python on their machines.
So, this issue will prevent us from upgrading our stuff to use Thrift 0.9.0
most likely, and if we don't change it, we'll be stuck forever at an earlier
release.

> 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
