I'm not up on the development/release plans of RHEL. When do you think they might release a version with Python 2.4 support? The same kind of goes for OS X, which ships with Python 2.3 on Tiger. I have no idea what Leopard will ship with, but I'd have to hope that it would be at least 2.4.x if not 2.5.x.
RHEL5 is in beta. It currently has python-2.4.3 (humorously, the
RPM is still called python-2.4.3-14.fc6). As I said, _I_ don't care about
mailman on RHEL4 (I run it on Solaris x86 as I like servers that don't crash),
:) Yeah, unless someone wants to donate an Xserve, I'll probably
keep my production Gentoo x86 box around for a while longer. I'm
still running my own lists and websites on that machine, but I won't
do development on it.
I just wanted to raise the issue. Feel free to say "legacy OS, legacy mailman". But keeping 2.3 support for future 2.1.x security/bugfix
releases would be a good idea.
Oh yes, sorry I wasn't clear. We'll definitely continue to support
Python 2.3 for Mailman 2.1.x. We'll drop Python 2.3 for Mailman
2.2. I'll write this up in the wiki.
