I would like to propose that we drop support for Python 2.3. Reasons:
- Python 3.6 was released in December. The list of versions we need to
manage is growing.
- Older Python versions are increasingly hard to build locally for testing.
- It's unlikely that Python 2.3 is still used in practice. Python 2.4
is in RHEL 5, which is the typically the oldest mainstream OS we look at.
- We could remove some cruft from the code.
We do have buildfarm coverage on prairiedog. However, that runs a >10
year old operating system, so I think it is not representing real usage.
Patch attached.
