We've been doing our best to keep compatibility with python 2.4 in pynag, at least for pynag.Plugins.

I say it's time to start looking more towards the future (python 3) and severing the ties with any version older than python 2.6.

Since I maintain the only distribution package I know of for python <2.6 (epel 5) there will only be security updates to any future releases for epel-5.

Please chime in if there are any foreseeable issues you can see with dropping python 2.4 and 2.5.

Hi Michael

Python 3 is a work in progress. I pushed a development branch called python3 to github. If anyone wants to help out, git clone -b python3 g...@github.com:pynag/pynag.git

The state of the branch is mostly broken. What works, it builds and installs. It can run tests/test.py but fails on about a third. It seems to work for python 2.6 <= but would require more testing before merging.

tests/test.py

FAILED (failures=53, errors=84, skipped=13)
