The book says: web2py runs with CPython (the C implementation) and Jython (the Java implementation), on Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7, although "officially" it only supports 2.5 so that we can guarantee backward compatibility for applications.
I guess that sounds a bit misleading, as 2.6 and 2.7 are also officially supported. It's just that the framework is written to target 2.5, so the framework code doesn't include any language features that were new in 2.6 or 2.7 (of course, your app code can include such features if you're running 2.6 or 2.7). I think we may need to remove 2.4 from that list as well. Anthony On Monday, August 13, 2012 9:27:36 AM UTC-4, Mike Girard wrote: > > Thanks for the confirmation.
