[Sugar-devel] sugar-datastore configure.ac should check for Python 2.5 or higher

Hi,

Sugar-datastore uses constructs failing with Python older than 2.5: 
queue.join, queue.task_done, check_call, nested try-except-finally and 
fancy locking using "with".

Until now I patched the sources for Debian to work also with Python 2.4.  
If interested in keeping the code backwards compatible I can provide 
those patches.

If you don't want to change the code, then you really should change 
configure.in to check for Python version of at least 2.5.


Same might apply to other Python libraries as well.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
