Philip Harvey commented on PROTON-199:
--------------------------------------

I'm glad you raised this Jira, I've been meaning to report this for a while. I suppose the big question is what version of Python we want to support. 

I'm no expert but for purely selfish reasons I'd vote for 2.4. This is the version on the default build of the machines I have access to.

>             Project: Qpid Proton
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: proton-c
>    Affects Versions: 0.3
>         Environment: python versions < 2.5
>            Reporter: Ken Giusti
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Python bindings make use of (at least two) python language features that require python versions newer than 2.5:
> - uuid
> - bytes
> In order to support older versions of the python language, these features would have to be removed, or a compatibility layer would need to be provided.
