>Description:
The ports for py-qt and py-sip require python2.5 installed but I don't
find any comments in the Requirements or Changelogs of the original
Packages that python 2.5 is minimum reqirement. 

As far as i have tested both is working with python2.4 as well.

change USE_PYTHON=2.5+ to USE_PYTHON=2.4+

 Py-2.5 became the default python around the time that PyQt4 update arrived, 
 and I have proactively set USE_PYTHON=2.5+
 
 There *have* been certain problems with PyQt4 with python 2.5- (fixed by the 
 author but you never know what else may lurk). Also, PyQt4 development uses 
 py-2.5 now.
 
 Also, the PR originator should have CC'd me, or may be just ask why I made 
 that decision.
 
 I do not approve this patch. PR originator can use his patch locally and solve 
 any future problems arising from that locally as well.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Dan

 There is still no information why the decision is made.
 
 Using USE_PYTHON=3D2.4+ will still install python2.5 by default but whoul=
 dn't
 prevent the port form being installed on python2.4. So where is the gain =
 in
 your decision.
 
 Python2.4 is still widely used. E.g. Zope doesn't run on 2.5 so all users=
  of
 Zope have still 2.4 installed. Your decision causes many problems without=
  any
 gain.

 I take it you haven't complained to the zope people for not running on the 
 default python version? Or the zope port maintainer for that matter.
 
 I'm not running 2.4 anymore, it's not the default anymore, any and all ports 
 testing on pointyhat and tinderbox won't use 2.4, so how am I going to do QA 
 on it? By installing and testing it myself on 4 architectures?
 
 My response was clear and there are good reasons to move to the default 
 python. Sorry. End of discussion.
