It looks like some syntax introduced in python-2.4 is starting to find its
way into matplotlib:
File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib-0.90.1_r3867-py2.3-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/texmanager.py",
line 113
+ tuple('font.'+n for n in ('family', ) + font_families)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib-0.90.1_r3867-py2.3-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/dviread.py",
line 355
for ch in special),
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib-0.90.1_r3867-py2.3-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/config/mpltraits.py",
line 49
return "one of %s"% ', '.join('%s'%i for i in be)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib-0.90.1_r3867-py2.3-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py",
line 544
not_None = (ch for ch in range(256)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Does anyone have an opinion on how much longer we will support python-2.3?
Maybe a good guide would be to support the most up-to-date RHEL release,
as well as the prior release. (At my lab, we haven't updated our RHEL
computers to version 5 yet, the first to include python-2.4.)
