Yeah, only 2.7+
@laserson you think we should support 2.6?
Generally, yes, though not super strongly.
If we were talking about Spark, then for sure, bc it's easier to run PySpark on a node of the cluster, which may have CentOS 6, which defaults to 2.6. It's not as much of an issue with ibis, because we generally talk to the cluster through hiveserver2 and HDFS through WebHDFS. But it still may be convenient if there is a need to run on the cluster itself (maybe in Kerberized environments), and I don't think it would be too difficult to support 2.6
Let me know if you think we should do this and I can pick this issue up.
Cool, want to give 2.6 support a go? I don't think there are many 2.7+ features being used outside the string formattings tuff
Allowing empty "{}" for string formatting only works starting in python 2.7. Feel free to close this as "won't fix" if ibis is only targeting 2.7+
