New Revision: 39533
URL: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/39533
Log:
configure.py : subprocess, second try (check_output requires
python 2.7 and throws unwanted exceptions when the process
return value is not 0
subprocess.Popen() also increases the requirement on python.
In README we have the following:
Python 2.3 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
Note 1: Python 2.3.4 or later is required for exporting LyX files
to a pre-unicode format, as previous versions are affected by a bug
about the normalization of unicode strings.
Note 2: Python 2.4.0 or later is required for the clean_dvi.py script,
which, however, is only used on Windows, where at least Python 2.6.0
is anyway recommended.
Note 3: Python 3.0 or later is not supported.
so, you may want to also update that, and next time maybe discuss such
changes before committing...
You're quite right.
Due to my playing with git, the commits r39525 and 39526 happened
simultaneously, while I only meant to commit the first.
subprocess.Popen itself requires 2.4, only the windows script already
requires this python version. Is it time to bump the requirement for
everyone?
