I ran into another snag trying to put the Python 3.2 tests on the 14.04 machines and that's that the unittest-xml-reporting package we use on Jenkins to collect the test results isn't compatible with Python 3.2 (the Ubuntu 12.04 machine uses an older fork of unittest-xml-reporting but I removed that hack on the 14.04 machines). Maybe I could find an older official version of unittest-xml-reporting that would work, but I don't think I'm adding any value with this exercise.
Given that no one reading this indicated that they plan a long-term deployment of Python 3.2, how about if in the next 1.8.x release we advertise that Python 3.2 support for Django 1.8 will end January 1, 2017? (we won't break anything intentionally after that, but we won't have to worry about testing and can spin down our 12.04 machine before it's EOL a few months later) On Thursday, November 26, 2015 at 9:53:51 AM UTC-5, Donald Stufft wrote: > > > On Nov 26, 2015, at 9:50 AM, Tim Graham <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > > The thing that makes me a little uncomfortable is promoting the use of > possibly insecure Python 3.2 well after it's end-of-life.
