Berrange" , Cleber Rosa All of the supported build platforms documented in qemu-doc.texi should already support Python 2.7. Removing support for Python 2.6 will allow us to remove some compatibility modules we carry in the QEMU tree: * scripts/argparse.py * scripts/ordereddict.py Python 2.6 is also not receiving bug fixes upstream and is not supported by pylint, which makes it harder to keep the code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.
