In my opinion it is simple. PEP 11 defines when platforms are abandoned. If a stable version like 3.2 supports XP, then its doc should say so. > Should the patch for 1b replace Python 2.2 with Python 2.7/3.2 or just Python > 3.2? One patch for 2.7 can modernize the code, but as Brian said there is no reason to use 2.7-only idioms; just remove the really old or inelegant things. (I haven’t looked at the FAQ to see what exactly is outdated.) The patch for 3.2 will have to use 3.x syntax. Note that you can make one of the two patches and let the committer port. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
