New issue 2619 by asmeurer: Should we give a better error message on
unsupported versions of Python?
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2619
I just noticed that the new IPython 0.11 only supports Python 2.6 and 2.7.
If you try to use it in Python 2.5, you get the message:
$python2.5 ipython.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ipython.py", line 17, in <module>
this_dir, 'IPython', 'scripts', 'ipython'
File "IPython/scripts/ipython", line 5, in <module>
from IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp import launch_new_instance
File "IPython/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
raise ImportError('Python Version 2.6 or above is required for
IPython.')
ImportError: Python Version 2.6 or above is required for IPython.
Should we do the same (except using "2.5" instead of "2.6")? I think it
might be worth it, especially as we are not supporting Python 3.0, which
may not result in an immediate SyntaxError upon importing SymPy like
happens in Python 2.4.
