As of the last time I looked, a patch set that makes cloud-init work with python 2.4 would be quite pervasive, not to mention that the last version of python-boto to work with 2.4 is quite old. EPEL already has a python 2.6 stack, so I agree with the rest of you: we might as well use it. ;-) _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
