The new waf requires a top-level sysconfig module with at least one partial feature greater than distutils.sysconfig, and 2.5 is broken unless someone add the as keyword to it. > What's the benefit to dropping py2 completely?

Dropping 2.6 could potentially - simplify wscript a little because of simpler set init. - Also simplify wscript and bin_test because argparse is included - simplify pylib due to not needing to import absent features from 2.6 Dropping 2.7 as well could allow for the removal of ntp.poly& stuff. Really irritate off Fred, Gary, and three Canadian users. Keeping 2.7 won't cost that much, yet. I would be pushing otherwise. -30- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org https://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
