Folks,
as it was planned and then announced at the OpenStack summit OpenStack services
deprecated Python-2.6 support. At the moment several services and libraries are
already only compatible with Python>=2.7. And there is no common sense in
trying to get back compatibility with Py2.6 because OpenStack infra does not run
tests for that version of Python.
The point of this email is that some components of Fuel, say, Nailgun and Fuel
Client are still only tested with Python-2.6. Fuel Client in it’s turn is about
to use OpenStack CI’s python-jobs for running unit tests. That means that in
order to make it compatible with Py2.6 there is a need to run a separate python
job in FuelCI.
However, I believe that forcing the things being compatible with 2.6 when the
rest of ecosystem decided not to go with it and when Py2.7 is already available
in the main CentOS repo sounds like a battle with the common sense. So my
proposal is to drop 2.6 support in Fuel-6.1.
While I come from the lands where being bleeding edge is preferred, I
ask myself (as not programmer) one thing: what does 2.7 provide that you
cannot easily achieve in 2.6?

Bartłomiej
