Merge lp:~jml/testtools/drop-python-2.4 into lp:~testtools-committers/testtools/trunk

[Jonathan Lange]

Announce that this is the last release for which we'll support Python 2.4.

We should drop Python 2.4 support next release.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

I think this needs to be in the manual as well, I'll see about putting that into effect.

review: Approve

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Also we should drop 2.5 as it no longer gets security updates from upstream.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

I've done so and landed; if you want different wording please do that :)

[Jonathan Lange (jml)]

Thanks for landing this. It turns out that Samba are still stuck on Python 2.4, and they use testtools. Maintaining Python 2.4 stuff is a pain, but we should keep in touch with Jelmer.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Ah. argh. ah.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought.
