I am building qemu on an old system with python 2.4.3. The latest checkin:
commit 9d34158a5af734e8de0b42b0a7228200c426a8d0

Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/cohuck/tags/s390x-20150907' into
staging
caused my qemu build to fail with:
File "/scratch/gcc/nightly/src/qemu/scripts/qapi.py", line 947, in cgen
raw = re.subn("^.", indent + r'\g<0>', raw, 0, re.MULTILINE)
raw = re.subn("^.", indent + r'\g<0>', raw, 0, re.MULTILINE)
TypeError: subn() : subn() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)
Now the recent patch did not introduce the use of subn, it just seems
to have changed something so that I call it now whereas before I did not.
The actual use of subn was introduced with this qemu patch:

qapi: Clean up cgen() and mcgen()
It looks like the 5th (optional) argument to subn in python was added
with python 2.7 and I am using python 2.4.3.
Is the use of the 5th argument on subn needed? And is it intentional
that qemu cannot be built without a python 2.7 or later?
