Add deprecation warnings for Python 2.4

Open drkjam opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

The next release (0.7.19) will be the last to officially support Python 2.4.x

Why?

It is time to move on. The codebase need to be able to modernise and move forward. Hopefully this will not disenfranchise too many users.

How Will This Affect My Code?

The forthcoming 0.7.19 release will raise deprecation warnings when Python 2.4.x is detected. Subsequent releases will move to 0.8.x and solidify this change by raising a hard exception.

This deprecation is a signal to users that we are moving away from Python 2.4 support (which may already be flaky).

The next release will raise an exception on Python versions lower than 2.5 (see Issue 136)

The support has been dropped a while ago, we can close this now.
