Which Python versions are supported is a secret #16

Closed ajdavis closed 9 years ago

ajdavis commented 9 years ago

You don't appear to list which Python versions you support. Who's allowed to know this information?

ajdavis commented 9 years ago

Ooh, sneaky. =)

behackett commented 9 years ago

For real? It would be helpful to know what versions of python greenhouse supports. I assume this answer means python 2.7 only?

teepark commented 9 years ago

Honestly I don't know. That was mostly a reaction to the language of the original issue.

There's no patching for the back-ported io module (2.6+), some version of python 3 worked at one point (modulo missing stdlib patching) but I haven't tested it in a while, and IIRC something happened in the stdlib around 2.7.8 or so that breaks the ssl patching.

I'm not keeping up with it all any more. There's no version I'd really call "supported".

behackett commented 9 years ago

Fair enough. 2.7.something it is then. Thanks. :-)

behackett commented 9 years ago

Oh, 2.7.8 started the backporting of a bunch of security stuff from 3.x. Though I think they only managed to get hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac done. 2.7.9 backports all the SSLContext stuff.

teepark commented 9 years ago

Yeah looks like it was 2.7.9. eventlet and gevent had the same issue - they changed the SSL module API.

Heh, backporting major portions of python3's ssl module in a patch level security release. What could possibly go wrong? ;-)

ajdavis commented 9 years ago

Apologies for my tone at the beginning I was grouchy. Thanks for responding.

@ajdavis no worries.

yeah this is exactly why I'm basically out of the game. greenhouse's differentiation from eventlet and gevent was supposed to be the completeness of the stdlib (and even some popular 3rd party libs) patching, but it's a huge job to keep up with everything and always support new things/versions in a way that doesn't break old things/versions.

I don't have the ability to maintain that kind of cross product, especially when I have no more day-job use of greenhouse.

No worries. We were just playing around with testing PyMongo and greenhouse and weren't sure what python versions were supported. No harm done. Thanks for the help!
