Pinax should support Python 2.3 #63

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Pinax crashes when using python 2.4 - TemplateSyntaxError instance has no
attribute 'message' [Crashlog]. This is solved by upgrading python to 2.5.

However should 2.5 actually be a requirement of Pinax? If so, it should say
it's a requirement in the README. 

Otherwise, shouldn't Pinax & all it's apps support the same version of
Python that the targeted version of Django does? i.e. Python 2.3 for Django
1.0.

Yes, we know we have some 2.5 code that shouldn't be in core and the apps. It 
would be much more helpful for 
people to start finding those places as it will help fix it. I personally see 
Pinax supporting what versions of Python 
that the Django that we target supports. We target Django 1.0 and it has 
support for Python 2.3. We ought to 
force the requirement on apps as well.

are there other known places where python 2.4 breaks? decorator syntax?

Several of the external apps and libs use the hashlib library, which is new to 
python
2.5.
I' using 2.4 and I had to download it from the Python package index
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hashlib/20060408a).

In pinax/local_apps/account/templatetags/openid_tags.py the any() function is 
used,
this function is new to 2.5.

Contrary to my original intentions, we have voted (with discussion on IRC) that 
we will not support 2.3. There is 
too much work involved for not much gain and 2.3 is over five years old 
(seriously, its okay to upgrade now). We 
may decide to support 2.4, but no guarantees considering it is almost four 
years old.

While letting 2.3 go is ok but 2.4 is still the default on Debian etch. 
Although it's slated to be updated at the end 
of the year it might be around a while still.
