Hey all,
I would like to propose that after Twisted 10.1 is released, we cease to
claim support for Python 2.4 on any version of Windows. This seems
reasonable to me considering that Python 2.5 was first released in
September of 2006 and that either Windows Python installations can be
upgraded easily or very likely no upgrades are possible at all
(specifically, no upgrades of Twisted).
The motivation for this is that we do not have the hardware resources to
continue to test Twisted on Python 2.4 on Windows, particularly
considering we will shortly want to begin testing on Python 2.7 on
Windows. If Windows/Python 2.4 support is important enough to anyone
that they can offer to host the build slaves necessary to continue
testing, then I'll withdraw the suggestion.
Lastly, I am not proposing dropping Python 2.4 support on any other
platform (ie, Debian and Fedora).
Jean-Paul
