So I've got a package I put up on PyPi a while back (ctypes-bitfield, if it matters). For version 0.2.6 I had access to some older versions of Python and was able to run my test suite on Python 2.6 and 3.0.
Well, I don't have them anymore. I've got no access right now to anything older than 2.7 and 3.2, and my primary development environment is 3.4. But I've also updated the package to support what I consider to be some really nice new functionality. So, it comes down to two questions: A) Is there any easy way to test against an older version of Python? Preferably without trying to install entire old environments and keep them nicely isolated from my actual doing work? I'm running Ubuntu for what difference that makes. B) If I can't manage that, what's the etiquette behind having later versions of a module break compatibility with older versions of Python. I've avoided using features I know are newer, like yield from and Enums, but I won't swear it'll work on 3.0 if I can't test it that way. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology -- www.highlandtechnology.com Email address domain is currently out of order.
