Keith Wall commented on PROTON-200: ----------------------------------- Yesterday's commit (https://svn.apache.org/r1532452) broke an internal Jenkins build as the change makes use of a Python 2.5 language feature (try/except/finally in the same block - support for which was introduced by Python 2.5). We'd understood that we wanted to remain Python 2.4 compatible. We are using python distribution python-2.4.3-24.el5.x86_64 and the box is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).
