Title:
  OpenERP 5.0.14 not working on Python 2.4 (Centos 5.5)

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I just tried installation of OpenERP on CentOS 5.5 (which is python
  2.4-based), following the instructions from here (spanish):

  http://civicom.eu/ERP/OpenERP/OpenERP-Instalacion.htm

  I had no problem at all installing anything from there, but when I tried to
  execute "openerp-server -s" (to bootstrap configuration) as user
  "openerp" (created previously), I got the following error:

  ---------------
  [root@maq-openerp ~]# openerp-server -s
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./openerp-server.py", line 48, in ?
      import netsvc
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/netsvc.py",
  line 200, in ?
      import tools
    File
  "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/tools/__init__.py",
  line 25, in ?
      from misc import *
    File
  "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/tools/misc.py", line
  909
      finally:
            ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  [root@maq-openerp ~]# su - openerp
  [openerp@maq-openerp ~]$ openerp-server -s
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./openerp-server.py", line 48, in ?
      import netsvc
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/netsvc.py",
  line 200, in ?
      import tools
    File
  "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/tools/__init__.py",
  line 25, in ?
      from misc import *
    File
  "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/openerp-server/tools/misc.py", line
  909
      finally:
            ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  ---------------

  As can be seen, it happens executing openerp-server as root or as a
  simple dedicated "openerp" user.

  Going to the troubled "misc.py", line 909, there's a "finally" clause
  there which is within the same "try ... except ..." clause. But this
  is NOT a python 2.4 feature, but from python 2.5 onwards, as it's explained e.g.
  here:

  http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/33005/1763/page/2

  Excerpt: "...Prior to 2.5 you couldn't have both an except clause and
  a finally clause for the same try block..." -- Which is exactly the
  problem here, IMHO.

  So I guess OpenERP 5.0.14 is NOT compatible with python 2.4 and thus
  with CentOS 5, RHEL 5, etc.

  Is this intended, or is it a regression that will be fixed?

  I'm an advanced Linux CentOS and server admin, and I'm also
  evaluating OpenERP so maybe I can help with more testing.

  BTW, I've done quite a lot of web research on this and seemingly no
  one has stepped into this problem...??? yet...?

  Thanks in advance.
  Jorge
