installation with python2.5?

[sfbigdata]

Hi, 

I've just started to use "milk",

it was fine with osX, unbuntu (both are with python2,6. 2.7 respectively).

however, when I tried to install at debian (with python 2.5). there is syntax error.

"

Extracting milk-0.4.2-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/milk-0.4.2-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/milk/ext/jugparallel.py", line 68

    kwargs = {k:identity(v) for k,v in kwargs.iteritems()}

                              ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/milk-0.4.2-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/milk/utils/parallel.py:45: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/milk-0.4.2-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/milk/utils/parallel.py", line 45

    with _plock:

              ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

seems like need to have python2.6 at least. is it correct? (even though I hoped that milk could be installed with 2.5)

thanks in advance.

Yes, that line will not work in older Python.

It's not really a design decision, but rather that I develop on Python 2.6+.

You can try to fix these things (and I would welcome the patches and merge them
with master), but it's pretty hard for me as I don't use Python 2.5.

Sorry
Luis
