[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-1773) Python library should run on python 2.4

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1773?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13509472#comment-13509472 ] 

Jake Farrell commented on THRIFT-1773:
--------------------------------------

The latest version of Centos comes with python 2.6.6 which has the exception handling backported from pep-3110 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3110). I changed the exception handling in THRIFT-1604 to support this and python 3.x clients.

>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Python - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.9

> As of 0.9, the Python code seems to require Python >= 2.6 (eg using new syntax not available in 2.4). Since many people still run Thrift-based apps on RHEL5, which includes only 2.4, we should avoid this dependency.
