Hi all,

For those on RHEL6 or a derivative, please note that RHEL Software Collections 
will provide an installation source for Python 2.7 and 3.3, as well as Postgres 
9.2 and both MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5, and works for RHELs 6.2-6.4.

Furthermore, "With the notable exception of Node.js, all Red Hat Software 
Collections components are fully supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux Subscription 
Level Agreements, are functionally complete, and are intended for production use."

I ran across this announcement via Nick Coghlan.

So, there's a supported version of Python 2.7 and 3.3 for RHEL 6, which should 
make Python deprecation choices easier. I would suggest that the above link get 
some mention in the documentation, as this will make things much easier to sell 
in shops that value stability and support, if this alternative solution is 
better known.

Regards,

---Peter

As far as I can tell, there's a consensus on dropping support for Python 2.6. 
That will allow us to remove the vendored copy of unittest2 and to take 
advantage of datastructures introduced in Python 2.7 like OrderedDict.

Oh yes, getting rid of our vendored unittest2 is totally worth it (debugging 
failures when someone imports from below django.utils.unittest2 is no fun)!

Cheers,

Thanks Peter.

This is the first I've seen this. I think I'll check with those at CentOS to see if they are supporting this and if not if they have any plans to do so.
