It would actually be useful if Hollis (or Matt ?) could provide a Docker container to easily access a RHEL6.5 system, so that people can try out what happens on such an old system. I guess RHEL6.5 itself is not easy to access because it's only for Redhat customers, but perhaps there is an equivalent version of CentOS that would do the job ? https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/ has a CentOS 6.6 docker image, but not CentOS 6.5. However, CentOS 6.6 also has Python 2.6 by default: $ sudo docker run -i -t centos:6.6 /bin/bash [...] [root at f7e0f2f6d7af /]# python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 09:42:36) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
