It makes sense to repeat this kind of question from time to time. At
some point Python 2.5 won't be needed anymore.

What Richard says. DIALS and xia2 is Python >= 2.7 though.
This comes up every ~9 months (last time as far as I can tell http://phenix-online.org/pipermail/cctbxbb/2016-September/001453.html) and should probably be mentioned in a few README.MDs or so.
Maybe even put in a test to guarantee compatibility? (Should not be too difficult to build something on top of https://github.com/ghewgill/pyqver)

Hi Nick,
I think officially we now support Python >= 2.5 as far as running general cctbx code, but try to support installing cctbx (i.e. via the libtbx bootstrap mechanism) with Python >= 2.4.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi All,
I'm starting to go through and learn some of the structure of these packages, starting with libtbx.
What's the supported targets supposed to be? There seems to be code specifically marked as backwards compatibility for Python 2.3 (2003), and packages explicitly included that were merged into the standard library around the same time (e.g. Optik).
Is this really as far back as we need to support?
Thanks,
