In a similar vein, I'm actually still doing security fixes for Python 2.2 for some RHEL customers, and for 2.3 and 2.4 for RHEL 4 and 5 (we never shipped 2.5 in RHEL; we're at 2.6.6 in RHEL 6) (But I don't want to stand in the way of Python 3 support, and 2.6 is probably the minimum sane version of 2.* to handle a dual 2/3 codebase) Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

Re: Proposal: drop Python 2.5 support in Django 1.5
Wasn't the reason why Django 1.4 should still support Python 2.5 because of RHEL 5? If so, RHEL 5 never had official Python 2.5 support but only supported Python 2.4. RHEL 6 does not support 2.5 either, its Python version is 2.6. What is the reason that Django 1.4 needs to support Python 2.5? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
