[dev] Status of support for Python 2.5 (Problems with testing)

[Torf <ma...@torf.cc>]

Hello everybody,

I just tried to run the tests using tox, however my version of tox
(2.1.1) doesn't support Python 2.5 anymore (it seems that support was
dropped in tox 1.7.0). tox.ini still lists Python 2.5 and the
documentation also says that 2.5 is supported.

Are you guys using an older version of tox or is that information
regarding support for Python 2.5 out of date?


Regards,
Torf

Hello,

We still support Python 2.5, but yes, latest version of tox doesn't support
2.5 and getting tests to run on Python 2.5 on Travis CI hasn't been
possible anymore for quite a while now (afaik).

We used to run tests on Python 2.5 on Apache buildbot, but it looks like we
don't do this anymore either :/

In the next release we will most likely drop support for 2.5 since not many
people use it anymore (multiple times in the past we asked people who use
Python 2.5 to come forward if they still want Python 2.5 to be supported in
the future, but not many people seemed to care) and it makes developing and
maintaining Libcloud quite more painful for us.
