I don't think that is a big deal, however incase a company has rpm requirements, should you not at least have a note in the wiki say you must use a 3rd party repo, and give a suggestion, or keep it in the drizzle repo.

If that's the version that has the features you need, then use it. In my opinion, dbqp is software that's targeted mainly toward developers, not everyday users, so I think we can probably relax the rules on which systems are supported a bit. -Dave On 3/10/11 11:31 AM, Patrick Crews wrote: Hi guys, Wanted to solicit thoughts on a matter that is causing some issues with dbqp and red hat. Redhat uses python 2.4, which is causing a lot of problems with dbqp (as it was written to be useful in the 21st century...but I digress). What I am wanting to know is what people's thoughts are regarding requiring python 2.5 for Drizzle/dbqp. I have done some initial work at making the script 2.4 friendly, but we are missing some annoyingly basic things in 2.4 that would require doing ugly things to the code. I'd prefer not to hack things up just so it can run on some old-@$$ version of python, but then I am a bit biased.
