From 7f2b55443a1c5cf17905b14c3ad38413924e4123 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Habkost Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 11:30:26 -0300 Subject: configure: Require Python 2.7 or newer All of the supported build platforms documented in qemu-doc.texi should already support Python 2.7. Removing support for Python 2.6 will allow us to remove some compatibility modules we carry in the QEMU tree: * scripts/argparse.py * scripts/ordereddict.py Python 2.6 is also not receiving bug fixes upstream and is not supported by pylint, which makes it harder to keep the code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.
