[Scons-users] Scons 2.3.1 on Python 2.4.3 won't build

[Stijn De Ruyck]

Fwiw, tried Scons 2.3.0 and it seems to work with Python 2.4.3. At least it gets past that simple build testcase; I haven’t tried more exotic stuff, these are only my first steps with Scons…

I think that this was an oversight by the developers.  I noticed that 2.3.1 wasn't compatible with 2.4.X months ago, but I never submitted a bug report.  If this was intentional, then the documentation wasn't updated because SCons 2.3.X still shows the banner for "Python versions older than 2.7.X are deprecated."  I assume by industry convention that SCons will move to version 3.X when they intend to make the 2.7 transition final.

I use SCons 2.3.0 with python 2.4.X and it works fine, but I may just have gotten lucky.

V/R,
William

The floor version of Python was raised to Python 2.7 for SCons 2.3.0 and
code used that required Python 2.7. This means if you are using Python
prior to 2.7 you have to use a SCons prior to 2.3. Thus I think you will
have to work with SCons 2.2.0 until you are in a position to upgrade you
Python version to 2.7.
