True, 2.5.x and earlier won't be compatible. Which means that RHEL-5/CentOS-5 python won't be compatible with any code that uses this feature of py3k and/or 2.6.x (via. the from future import). This is _far_ from unprecedented though, lack of decorators and/or yield alone makes the python in RHEL-4/CentOS-4 incompatible for any modern development. And I've had to upgrade boxes because of this, and told a lot of people "Yeh, any recent yum just isn't going to work there ... sucks". This wasn't the end of the world then, and didn't mean we wanted/needed to hold python back in Fedora. I don't see anything materially different now. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
