[lldb-dev] Does anyone depend on using LLDB with Python 2.6?

[Ted Woodward via lldb-dev]

Ubuntu 10.04 uses 2.6 by default; Ubuntu 12.04 uses 2.7.

 

We have a bunch of Ubuntu 10 machines here, but anything that runs lldb has 2.7 installed. I’m OK with dropping 2.6 support.

I think the older Ubuntus and the RHEL 7 line both still have a 2.7-based python.  I am not aware of any system on the Linux/OS X side where we are seeing Python 2.6 systems anymore.

 

Can't speak to the BSDs.

 

My guess would be we don't need to worry about python < 2.7.

It is also a special-purpose class for lldb's test-suite.
