[Bug 683122] Re: does not support python 2.5

 

Python 2.5 was released 10 years ago and Python 2.6 was released 8 years
ago.

I would recommend to close this bug, as I don't think many novice linux
users will use that old software.

Please let me know if someone disagree.

Title:
  does not support python 2.5

Status in CLI Companion:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently CLI Companion works only with python 2.6 and above. This
  means it does not work with Debian Lenny. It looks like it would be
  not much work to make CLI Companion run on python 2.5.

  05:59 #ubuntu-beginners-team: < geekosopher> duanedesign: clicompanion needs python-support > 0.90 ,lenny has 0.8.4
  06:17 #ubuntu-beginners-team: < geekosopher> duanedesign: got python-support 1.0.3 from backports but getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/538271/ (see below)
  06:18 #ubuntu-beginners-team: < geekosopher> duanedesign: so does that mean it won't work for lenny?
