Our institute's servers all have Python 2.3 installed. At the moment it is not real to persuade admins to upgrade (and upgrade is indeed difficult as you need to bother a lot of users which have processes running). So personally I would very much like to see SciPy continuing to work on 2.3. Denis On 12/27/06, Tim Leslie <tim.leslie@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All,
I'd like to start a discussion to see whether it's time for scipy to require Python 2.4. 2.4 has been out for over two years now (released in Nov 2004) and there is at least one outstanding patch for scipy which requires 2.4[1]. AFAIK there are no major distributions for which 2.3 is the default version.
What do other people think? Are there any plans to make 2.4 a requirement in the near future? Are there many people who still use 2.3? Is this something that might be considered for the next release?
Cheers,
Tim
