Python 2.6 is being abandoned #130

Closed Cedev closed 8 years ago

Cedev commented 9 years ago

Python 2.6 support is being dropped from openstack. As of Juno, openstack requires python 2.7. We're still trying to support Icehouse, which could optionally run with 2.6.

The first problem we've encountered is a dictionary comprehension is oslo messaging, which causes our py26 tests to fail. Oslo messaging is no longer tested against python 2.6. https://github.com/openstack/oslo.messaging/commit/2734fc8f505ca07ff1a4f4a420807e5c1b4ed812

We need to set upper bounds on the requirements.txt and testrequirements.txt for python 2.6. We can change the requirements for py26 tests in tox.ini. I don't know how we can change the requirements for the library for python 2.6,

The oslo messaging issue is resolved for now; the dictionary comprehension was removed in this revert: https://github.com/openstack/oslo.messaging/commit/468437454f16083dbd43eb6fd6daf6a3c98c15e0

This is a non issue ... for now.

As we no longer support py26 as a testing target, I see no reason to keep this open. Closing.
