The arguments for supporting rather old Python versions seems strange to = me. What is the benefit if the according XEN versions are not supported o= n the distros in question anyway? The reasoning sounds artificial, or is there any point which was not stat= ed explicitly??? -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:52:17 +0200 > Von: Andreas Florath > An: Jan Beulich > CC: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > Betreff: Re: [Xen-devel] Suggestion: drop python 2.3 support for xen-= 3.5 > Hello! >=20 > >>>> 19.08.09 12:20 >>> > >> What is your idea about future python support and timelines?
