Support Python 2.7

[mortenlj]

I've just started writing a presentation, and decided I wanted to use rst as a source. I figured I would use S5, but then I found out about rst2odp, and figured using Impress to run the presentation works better than a browser.

Unfortunately, I only have Python 2.7.2 available on any of my systems. Python 2.7.x has been the standard on many distributions for a while now...

If you could explain why/where Python 2.7 isn't supported, I might be able to contribute some patches.

I'm not sure what errors you are seeing. I used rst2odp with python 2.7 just last week.

Some sample slides, your platform and the error you are seeing would help diagnose your problem.

cheers

https://github.com/mattharrison/rst2odp/blob/master/bin/rst2odp [line 976-977] gave me the impression that it is intentional that 2.7 isn't supported.

Anyway, if I comment out those two lines, I get this error:

This is on WindowsXP, with Python 2.7.2, source-checkout of docutils and rst2odp:

    svn+https://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docutils/trunk/docutils/
    git+https://github.com/mattharrison/rst2odp.git
    pygments==1.4

Whoops, I looked and had made changes on my 2.7 computer without pushing. They are pushed now. Let me know if they help...

[mortenlj]

Looks like it works now, atleast it generates an odp-file without any errors from my presentation (after I comment out the admonitions which isn't implemented).

I'm closing this issue, as Python 2.7 support seems to be working after that last commit. :)

(There is however a problem with the file it generates, but I've managed to get a Python 2.6 installation running, and I get the same problem there, so I'll investigate further and possibly open a new issue for that problem).
