Support for Python 2.4+ #26

Closed laserson closed 10 years ago

laserson commented 10 years ago

pybamview only supported Python 2.7 because of dictionary comprehensions and Python 2.6 because of argparse (if separately installed) and a with statement. These changes should make pybamview compatible with Python 2.4 and above, which is helpful if you want to run it on, say, CentOS.

Thanks a lot for these changes! Looks great. Next release I'll update the website to say only Python 2.4 is required.

I would just add that it might still not be compatible with Python 2.4. The pybamview code certainly is, but the deps may not be. But I can confirm that it now works on Python 2.6 :) Thanks for the useful tool!

Good point. I'm working on getting rid of pandas (issue #30) but other dependencies still need >=2.6 ( at least pyfasta and flask ). But at least 2.6 is working!
