I now tried the patched version on a system with python 2.4.2 and it
fails with:
File "../diffconfig2", line 103
except IOError as e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The original version works fine with both 2.4.2 and 2.7.3. So should the
changelog actually read "drop support for python < 2.5"? What do we gain
by this change?
Thanks,
Michal
