We made a decision to stick with python 1.5.2 in the begin of the development cycle and we never revise that. So what did look like a reasonable decision three years later was outdated. FWIW and in the interest of historical truth we decided to stay python 1.5.2 because that was the version carried by RedHat Linux 7.3, that in itself was already an historical accident because RedHat had never before released a x.3 version. Let us say that RedHat Linux 8.0 had python 2.2 due to this mismatch. > BTW, the configure script should also be changed to require python 2.3, > vurrently it looks for 1.5.x (I am not talking about lib/configure.py, but > the autotools stuff). Yes. I also think that we should require python because there are certain scripts that require it instead of simply searching for its presence. > Georg -- José Abílio
