Dropping support of 3.2 would potentially aid projects which have not yet converted to Python 3, since Python 3.3 supports u"Unicode Literals" but 3.2 does not. Skipping over the early 3.x versions vastly eases transition from 2.6 to 3.3. Besides, what are the chances that someone running Pyt

I agree that there is likely to be little overlap between people using old systems and people using bleeding edge Django versions. Along the same lines, it's worth noting that these users will have a supported version if Django (1.6) for more than a year from today anyway. Python 2.6 reminds me

Just to be clear: RHEL6 (which only ships Python 2.6) is the latest version available right now. So, if you're a RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux shop, you're either running Python 2.6, or you've rolled your own Python build. (We have, but I assume we're slightly abnormal in that regard; upgrading Djan

Per the recent Red Hat Summit in Boston, RHEL7 willl be based off of Fedora 19, so yes: 2.7 will be the default /usr/bin/python in that distribution. A related point of note: Python 2.6 is also easily installable on RHEL5 via EPEL (parallel-installable with the Python 2.4 release that shipped with

Hello, We just forked the stable/1.6.x branch. The development of Django 1.7 starts now! As far as I can tell, there's a consensus on dropping support for Python 2.6. That will allow us to remove the vendored copy of unittest2 and to take advantage of datastructures introduced in Python 2.7 like
