Hi all, Pants is cutting a new release <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/597>, which includes the ability to specify a repo-wide interpreter compatibility <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/483>. Using this feature will decrease the impact the environment has on which interpreter is used (see AURORA-462 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-462> and AURORA-585 <http://URORA-585> for examples) and overall increases reliability and reproducibility.
As it ships, I propose we pin our repo at python27- are there any concerns with doing so? Some people may still be using python26, in which case you can change pants.ini to specify 2.6 on your internal fork, since we largely decided to no longer support it <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-aurora-dev/201407.mbox/%3cca+y6w6oumbgojy2b+khs4uopaqelsscx4vhha3ejakkijpb...@mail.gmail.com%3e> . Thanks! Joe
